Presentation
We therefore sought to characterize dendritic cell (DC) activation and antigen presentation following Streptococcus mutans exposure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pediatric Disease
Rampant caries diseases are especially common among lower-income populations, such as the devastating pediatric disease Early Childhood Caries, which has reported rates of as high as ninety percent in some subpopulations. [web.archive.org]
Gastrointestinal
-
Regurgitation
All of the heart valve tissue specimens were excised during a valve replacement procedure, following diagnosis of aortic regurgitation, mitral regurgitation, or tricuspid regurgitation, while the atheromatous plaque specimens were collected during treatment [doi.org]
Skin

Photosensitivity
The phototoxicity of photosensitizers against S. mutans was investigated using a colony-forming-unit assay. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
His blood workup at presentation showed normal coagulation studies and his platelet count was low normal at 119 x 10 9 /L. [cureus.com]
Microbiology
-
Chlamydia
Haraszthy et al. ( 7 ) reported the detection frequencies of periodontitis-related bacteria in 50 atheromatous specimens, which included cytomegalovirus (38%), Chlamydia pneumoniae (18%), T. forsythia (30%), P. gingivalis (26%), A. actinomycetemcomitans [doi.org]

Haemophilus Parainfluenzae
For example, the group of bacteria known as the sanguis streptococci has been found to produce nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which is then consumed by the species Haemophilus parainfluenzae (Liljemark and Bloomquist 1996). [web.archive.org]

Treatment
Many protocols for the prevention and treatment of oral infections have been described, yet no golden standard has been developed so far. The antiseptic chlorhexidine and antibiotics are often used in these treatment procedures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These findings suggest a poor prognosis, or a higher tendency for recurrent bleeding in subjects with cnm -positive S. mutans strains. Figure 4: Recurrent ICH occurred in a patient with cnm -positive S. mutans. [nature.com]
Etiology
The usual etiologic agent is Staphylococcus aureus. We report a case of Streptococcus mutans endocarditis resulting in hematogenous osteomyelitis of the lumbar vertebrae. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
Precise differentiation of streptococci in bacterial endocarditis is of value both epidemiologically and in the management of the disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although S. mutans and S. sobrinus can be distinguished by appropriate laboratory tests, these are expensive and time-consuming so it is not always practicable to identify down to the species level in large-scale epidemiological studies. [web.archive.org]

Pathophysiology
Its development is crucial in the pathophysiology of oral infections like dental caries, as well as in periodontal, pulp, and periapical diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This vaccine would focus on neutralizing the virulence factors of S. mutans, the most widely studied causal agent, which participate in the pathophysiological mechanisms of dental caries, such as adherence to teeth and the production of insoluble glucans [scielo.org.ar]
