Resumen

La caries dental es una enfermedad ampliamente estudiada que se encuentra directamente relacionada con la presencia de Streptococcus mutans, cuyos factores de virulencia más relevantes son la proteína de adhesión (PAc) y las glucosiltransferasas (GTF). Estas últimas son enzimas mediadoras de la producción de glucanos, que permiten la cohesión y maduración de la biopelícula dentobacteriana. Dado el importante papel que estas enzimas tienen actualmente como posible agente de una vacuna contra la enfermedad, este artículo busca revisar los aspectos de mayor relevancia que permitan comprender la estructura y función de estas proteínas.

Keywords
