Elevated antibody to D-alanyl lipoteichoic acid indicates caries experience associated with fluoride and gingival health
<p/> <p>Background</p> <p>Acidogenic, acid-tolerant bacteria induce dental caries and require D-alanyl glycerol lipoteichoic acid (D-alanyl LTA) on their cell surface. Because fluoride inhibits acid-mediated enamel demineralization, an elevated antibody response to D-alanyl L...
