Genetic Characterization of a <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> LraI Family Operon and Role in Virulence

1 Aug 2000

Abstract excerpt

Proteins belonging to the LraI (for "lipoprotein receptor antigen") family function as adhesins in several streptococci, as a virulence factor for endocarditis in at least one of these species, and potentially as metal transporters in many bacteria. We have identified and characterized the chromosomal locus containing the LraI family gene (designated sloC) from Streptococcus mutans, an agent of dental caries and...
