Abstract
Objective: during cariogenic biofilm formation. Methods: virulence genes was examined via real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results: ) were associated with sugar availability-related and time-related dynamics. Conclusion: biofilm formations and dynamic expressions of virulence genes.
