Inhibitory Spectrum of a Bacteriocinlike Substance (Mutacin) Produced by Some Strains of Streptococcus mutans

SHIGEYUKI HAMADA 1 and TAKASHI OOSHIMA 1

1 Department of Oral Microbiology, and Pedodontic Clinic, Department of Operative Dentistry, Osaka University Dental School, 32 Joan-Cho, Kita-Ku, Osaka, 530, Japan

Streptococcus mutans strains were surveyed to determine their lysogenicity. Growth inhibition of the indicator strains around the inoculum of stab culture of some S mutans strains was demonstrated. Many gram-positive bacteria, including mycobacteria and streptomycetes, were sensitive to the antibacterial activity.
