Of a new serotype Streptococcus mutans and its use

摘要

The present invention relates to a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide that reduces glucose side chain volume of the polysaccharide antigen of Streptococcus mutans serotype specific. The present invention relates to a method of antibody specific to the S. mutans strains and novel Streptococcus mutans strain with the polynucleotide, and detecting the S. mutans strain present in a subject. According to this method, obtained as a result, it may identify the target likely infectious endocarditis developing whether there was confirmed in a subject Streptococcus mutans serotype is indefinite.
