Background: Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is one of the main agents of caries formation, mainly because of the ability to form biofilms on the tooth surface. Bacteriophage of S. mutans are viruses that can attack and limit the pathogenic activity... Read More about Isolation of Streptococcus Mutans and its Bacteriophage from Human Plaque Samples.
