Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:To study the ultrastructural alterations induced in Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175) incubated with saliva, saliva plus histatin 5 and histatin 5. METHODS:S. mutans incubated with saliva histatin 5 or a combination of both were morphologically analyzed and counted. The results were expressed as (CFU)ml-1. Ultrastructural damage was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy. Ultrastructural localization of histatin 5 was examined using immunogold labeling. Apoptotic cell death was determined by flow cytometry (TUNEL). RESULTS:A decrease in the bacteria numbers was observed after incubation with saliva, saliva with histatin 5 or histatin 5 compared to the control group (p<0.0001). Ultrastructural damage in S. mutans incubated with saliva was found in the cell wall. Saliva plus histatin 5 induced a cytoplasmic granular pattern and decreased the distance between the plasma membrane bilayers, also found after incubation with histatin 5, together with pyknotic nucleoids. Histatin 5 was localized on the bacterial cell walls, plasma membranes, cytoplasm and nucleoids. Apoptosis was found in the bacteria incubated with saliva (63.9%), saliva plus histatin 5 (71.4%) and histatin 5 (29.3%). Apoptosis in the control bacteria was 0.2%. CONCLUSIONS:Antibacterial activity against S. mutans and the morphological description of damage induced by saliva and histatin 5 was demonstrated. Pyknotic nucleoids observed in S. mutans exposed to saliva, saliva plus histatin 5 and histatin 5 could be an apoptosis-like death mechanism. The knowledge of the damage generated by histatin 5 and its intracellular localization could favor the design of an ideal peptide as a therapeutic agent.
