Yes..Mutans are real.Sceintisit have experimented with such stuff and succed.But the provation of scietifly mutainting is practicly impossilbe.YET...Therefor thecorrect awnser isno
The species name in the name Streptococcus mutans is "mutans." It is specific to this particular bacterium and distinguishes it from other species within the Streptococcus genus.
Attack of the Mutans - 2011 was released on: USA: 26 September 2011 (video premiere)
Streptococcus mutans is commonly known as "S. mutans." It is a type of bacteria primarily associated with dental caries (tooth decay) due to its ability to metabolize sugars and produce acid. This acid can erode tooth enamel, leading to cavities. S. mutans is a significant contributor to the formation of dental plaque.
e. you need to be know enough detail as to how much they are 'closely related'. Its simply because organisms even thought they belong to same genus, might not be 'closely related' as you want. For example: Bacteria belonging to different species within a genus cause different diseases.
Streptococcus mutans can be isolated from clinical samples by culturing on selective media such as Mitis Salivarius agar or mitis salivarius-bacitracin agar. The colonies can be identified based on their morphology, hemolysis patterns, and biochemical tests like catalase negative, Gram-positive cocci, and production of acid from carbohydrates.

Streptococcus mutans is the common bacteria that causes dental decay (cavity). It is found in the mouth.
The most common victims for Streptococcus mutans are humans, particularly those who have poor oral hygiene practices. The bacteria thrive in the mouth by feeding on sugars from food and drinks, leading to the formation of dental plaque and ultimately tooth decay.
The acidic environment in the mouth cause tooth decay.

Streptococcus mutans is a bacterium that is a common contributor to tooth decay, but it does not directly kill victims. Instead, it leads to cavities and oral health issues. Deaths related to Streptococcus mutans would typically be from complications associated with severe untreated dental problems rather than directly from the bacterium itself.
