Not essentially. While S.mutans is a specific type of Streptococcus, you can also get other Streptococci to mutate - these would be called Mutant Streptococci.
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.
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.
A mutant plant is a plant that develops differently than what it should. This is the same concept for mutant animals.

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
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.
Probably much the same as I do now.
streptococcus mutans
s. mutans
Streptococcus mutans is the common bacteria that causes dental decay (cavity). It is found in the mouth.
on amazon!!! i know it sounds so weird but i was in the same position and amazon LITERRALLY has mutant fruit flies!
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.
