Purpose.
In order to investigate the suitability of Streptococcus mutans species biotyping by measuring the activity of selected enzymes from a commercial test, criteria were established for biotyping clinical strains from children with dental caries.
In addition, the relationships between the selected biotypes, sensitivity to commonly used antibiotics, and early childhood caries were determined.
Methods.
A total of 142 S.
mutans isolates from dental plaque of children with caries were divided into different biotypes.
Patients were divided into two groups: noncavitated (1-2 in ICDAS) and cavitated (5-6 in ICDAS) lesions.
Biotyping criteria were determined based on both the arbitrary method and the clusterization method.
The susceptibility of the strains to amoxicillin, cefazolin, erythromycin, and teicoplanin was studied by diluting a solid medium.
Results.
Biotype I was the most common.
Mean MIC values showed that the strains belonging to biotypes II and IV were the most sensitive to amoxicillin.
For predetermined biotypes, observed differences were dependent on the severity of dental caries.
Conclusions.
The proposed method of S.
mutans strains biotyping is relatively quick and simple to use, provided the application of suitable biotyping criteria, and may contribute to the effective prevention of dental caries induced by S.
mutans.
