  • Title: The effect of adsorption on the acid production of caries and noncaries-producing streptococci.
    Author: Berry CW, Henry CA.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1977 Oct; 56(10):1193-1200. PubMed ID: 272380.
    Abstract:
    Eighteen different Streptococcus strains including S mutans, sanguis, mitis, salivarius, bovis, and 2F2, were assayed for their relative adsorption to synthetic hydroxyapatite and for quantities of lactic acid produced while in the adsorbed state. The results indicated that all S mutans and some S sanguis have an enhanced metabolic activity while adsorbed to hydroxapatite as compared to control suspensions without hydroxyapatite.
