Analysis of Loci Required for Determination of Serotype Antigenicity in <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> and Its Clinical Utilization
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
We recently identified the genes responsible for the serotype c-specific glucose side chain formation of rhamnose-glucose polysaccharide (RGP) in Streptococcus mutans. These genes were located downstream from the rgpA through rgpF locus that is involved in the synthesis of RGP. In the present study, the corresponding chromosomal regions were isolated from serotype e and f strains and characterized. The rgpA...
