The antimicrobial effect of different vitamin D compounds on < em > Streptococcus mutans < /em > and their impact on glycosyltransferase expression

CONCLUSION: Vitamin D2 and D3 inhibited S. mutans mediated pH drop in sucrose supplemented cultures and altered glycosyltransferase expression, suggesting potential therapeutic roles in dental caries prevention. Further research is needed to assess their full impact on S. mutans survival under environmental stresses.PMID:38550660 | PMC:PMC10976999 | DOI:10.1080/20002297.2024.2327758
