Transgénicos contra la caries.

from Cienciaes.com

La caries dental está provocada por la bacteria Streptococus mutans, que vive habitualmente en nuestra boca. Ese microorganismo transforma los azúcares en ácido láctico, una sustancia que ataca y destruye la superficie de los dientes. Hace veinte años, en medio del furor por los organismos transgénicos como medio para solventar problemas, se propusieron varias estrategias basadas en la generación de bacterias transgénicas que, en lugar de dañar los dientes, fueran capaces de protegernos de la caries ¿Aquellas fascinantes ideas y propuestas se han convertido en realidad? La respuesta es no. Lo que sí se ha investigado estas dos últimas décadas es el desarrollo de vacunas contra la caries, es decir, vacunas que conseguirían la generación de anticuerpos contra Streptococcus mutans y especies relacionadas y que harían mucho más difícil a estas bacterias vivir en nuestras bocas y dañar los dientes.
