Figure 2.

Microbial population recovered from the animals at the end of the caries study. The total cultivable microbiota (a) and S. mutans strains (b) derived from rats infected by parental strain UA159 and deletion strains ΔgtfB, ΔlytS and ΔdltD. (c) The percentage of S. mutans (%) in the total cultivable microbiota. Bars with the same letters indicate no statistical difference between the different strains in each graph (p > 0.05; one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s test). The data represented are the means, and the error bars correspond to the standard deviation (n = 14 per group).
