Abstract | Background/purpose: Biofilm formation by Streptococcus mutans is a prerequisite for the development of caries. Different strains of S. mutans may differ in their capacity in biofilm formation and protein expression. The objective of this study was to investigate the morphological features and proteomes of biofilms of S. mutans clinical isolates.
Materials and methods: Clinical strains isolated from caries-active (SM 593) and caries-free (SM
18) adults were cultured on polystyrene sheets in tryptoneepolypeptoneeyeast extract medium.
Biofilm formation and structure were assessed by confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Proteins were extracted from SM 593 and SM 18 presented in biofilms and separated with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, followed by peptide mass fingerprinting using matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis.
Results: Initially detected 2 hours after incubation, biofilm formation reached its maximum
level at 20 hours. The biofilm formed by SM 593 was thicker with a higher percentage of viable
bacteria compared with that formed by SM 18. Hydrolase and pantothenate kinase were detected
in the SM 593 biofilm only, whereas 6-pyruvoyl tetrahydropterin synthase and phosphoribosylglycinamide
formyltransferase were expressed exclusively in the SM 18 biofilm. Expressions of D-alanyl-D-alanine carboxypeptidase and response regulator homolog of RumR were most greatly enhanced in the SM 593 and SM 18 biofilms, respectively. |
