Abstract

Abstract: Glucosyltransferase (GTF) is secreted by streptococcus mutans inhabited in the oral cavity. It synthesizes glucans which provide binding sites for a succession of bacteria on hard surfaces. Therefore, inhibition of formation and accumulation of cariogenic biofilm communities by affecting glucosyltransferase is an attractive route to prevent both dental caries. This article reviews the regulators of gene transcription of glucosyltransferase.

Key words: Streptococcus mutans, Glucosyltransferase, Gene transcription , Regulator
