Streptococcus mutans Extracellular Vesicles Regulate Early Streptococcus sanguinis Nanoadhesion

Researchers investigated how extracellular vesicles from *Streptococcus mutans* influence *Streptococcus sanguinis* adhesion and biofilm formation, finding that vesicles from planktonic cultures enhanced adhesion while those from biofilms on glycated collagen reduced it, suggesting a context-dependent mechanism for microbial competition in caries development.
