DOI: 10.1186/s12903-025-07276-5

Abstract: Streptococcus mutans harbors collagen-binding protein genes, namely cnm and cbm, which are implicated in its virulence and pathogenicity in both oral and extraoral infections. Although both genes were initially identified in S. mutans isolated from… read more here.
