This study shows that strain-level diversity in Streptococcus mutans affects biofilm structure, acidogenic traits, and antimicrobial tolerance, with no consistent link between biofilm organization and these functions.

The paper develops and validates fluorescent bacterial strains for studying oral streptococci biofilms and interactions.

This study identifies a Streptococcus mitis strain that inhibits biofilm formation of S. mutans through high hydrogen peroxide production, but is less effective against pre-formed biofilms.
