ABSTRACT
Objective:
To sequence V-region and P-region gene of surface protein of serotype c Streptococcus mutans clinical isolates with different adherent abilities.Methods:
The clinical isolates of serotype c S.mutans included two groups with different spaP-pv AluI genotypes, which were derived from previous studies in our lab. The genome DNA was extracted. The spaP-pv (2 060-3 157 bp) was amplified by PCR, then sequenced and analyzed.Results:
Seven sites of AluI 5′-AG↓CT- 3′were included in the sequences of spaP-pv of both genotypes strains. The sequences of spaP-pv of ten a-genotype strains were the same except several site mutations, and so were those of b-genotype strains. Two different DNA fragments were revealed between a and b geotype strains. And they were located in the V-region of spaP.Conclusion:
The mutation of gene encoding V-region of S.mutans clinical isolates might be related to the differences of adherent abilities .
