Fig 3.
Adhesion of S. mutans isolates (n = 70) or sequence types (STs) to pure gp340 receptor related to the caries (+) or caries-free (−) strain donors. Adhesion (%) indicates the percentage of adhering cells of the total number of cells added. The histogram (right) gives the distribution of adhesion among the isolates. Mean adhesion values (95% CI) are given. M, median adhesion.
