Dental caries caused by S.mutans are initiated by the formation of dextrans from glucose, which adhere to surfaces, leading to cavities and potentially infective endocarditis.
S.mutans tarafından neden olunan diş çürükleri, glukozdan elde edilen dekstranların oluşumuyla başlar; bu dekstranlar diğer yüzeylere yapışmayı kolaylaştırarak diş çürüklerine ve enfektif endokardite yol açabilir.
