Abstract
Immunization of monkeys with killed S. mutans cells has been claimed to result in a markedly reduced number of this bacterium on tooth surfaces (1). The vaccination approach to prevention of dental caries, which is so strongly represented at the present symposium may thus, as a matter of fact, depend on inhibition of the adherence of cariogenic streptococci. An understanding of the mechanisms involved in binding S. mutans to tooth surfaces may therefore be essential in this area of research.
