A Streptococcus mutans mutant that synthesizes elevated levels of intracellular polysaccharide is hypercariogenic in vivo.

We used the streptococcal transposon, Tn916 to identify and isolate mutants of Streptococcus mutans with altered intracellular polysaccharide (IPS) accumulation. We report on the isolation and characterization of S. mutans SMS202, a transposon mutant which accumulated the glycogen-like IPS in excess...
