Genetic transformation in Streptococcus mutans requires a peptide secretion-like apparatus.

Oral microbiology and immunology - 1 Oct 2000

Petersen F C, Scheie A A

Abstract excerpt

Competence for genetic transformation in Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus gordonii involves the ComAB secretion apparatus, which is thought to export the competence-stimulating peptide. Homologous secretory systems are also used for the export of certain bacteriocins and bacteriocin-like peptides. In this study, a similar secretory apparatus was found in the Streptococcus mutans genome, and its role in...
