Dental plaque is formed mainly in two stages; the initial and reversible attachment of various oral bacteria to the tooth surface, followed by sucrose-dependent
glucosyltransferase activity to synthesize an insoluble glucan layer in which firm and irreversible adhesion of S.

The action of catechin occurs preventing bacterial adhesion to the tooth surface by inhibiting
glucosyltransferase enzyme and bacterial amylase (1, 2, 8).
Lipopolysaccharide core biosynthesis proteins, such as RfaS (RWLH02896), alpha-D-Glcp alpha-1,6-galactosyltransferase (RWLH02895), lipopolysaccharide 1,3-galactosyl-transferase (RWLH02894), lipopolysaccharide
glucosyltransferase I (RWLH02893) and lipopolysaccharide core biosynthesis protein RfaZ (RWLH02891), were also identified.
