Modulation of Lipoteichoic Acids and Exopolysaccharides Prevents <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> Biofilm Accumulation

Dental caries is a diet–biofilm-dependent disease. <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> contributes to cariogenic biofilms by producing an extracellular matrix rich in exopolysaccharides and acids. The study aimed to determine the effect of topical treatments with compound 1771 (modulates lipotei...
