Question 82 (part 2) · LDEK · Etiology and pathogenesis of caries
Indicate a feature, which the carious bacteria do not possess:
- A. they produce acids from carbohydrates which are subject to fermentation (they are acidogenic).
- B. they may thrive in acidic environment (they are acid-resistant).
- C. they possess the ability of adhering to the tooth surface.
- D. they give the matrix a gel-like consistence, which allows for tooth adherence.
- E. they are characterised by various adaptive ability, such as producing better adapted mutants.
Hint
List the classic virulence traits of cariogenic bacteria (acid production, acid tolerance, adhesion, polysaccharide synthesis) and find the odd one out.
