distribution and determinants of mutans streptococci among african-american children and association with selected variables. | prevalence of mutans streptococci (ms) and the effect of selected variables, including the early childhood use of antibiotics on the oral colonization of ms, were studied among 353, 5- to 12-year-old african-american children using a cross-sectional study. ms prevalence was estimated using pooled plaque and stimulated saliva samples (spatula). data on antibiotic use and other potential determinants of oral colonization of ms were obtained using a self-administered questionnaire. antibiotic data ... | 1995 | 7617494 |
genetic diversity and evidence for transmission of streptococcus mutans by diversilab rep-pcr. | this two-part study investigated the genetic diversity and transmission of streptococcus mutans using the diversilab repetitive extragenic palindromic pcr (rep-pcr) approach. for children with s. mutans and participating household members, analysis for evidence of unrelated child-to-child as well as intra-familial transmission was evaluated based on commonality of genotypes. a total of 169 index children and 425 household family members from uniontown, alabama were evaluated for genetic diversit ... | 2016 | 27432341 |
