Abstract
1) Several plant lectins inhibit in vitro adherence of S. mutans to smooth surfaces. 2) Initial attachment of S. mutans appears to be independent of sucrose-derived glucans. 3) Blockage of adherence is possibly due to lectin interaction with basic amino acid residues on the cell surfaces.Entities:
