Effects of RelA on key virulence properties of planktonic and biofilm populations of Streptococcus mutans.

Infection and immunity - 1 Mar 2004

Lemos José A C, Brown Thomas A, Burne Robert A

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus mutans is a biofilm-forming bacterium that is adapted to tolerate rapid and dramatic fluctuations in nutrient availability, carbohydrate source, and pH in its natural environment, the human oral cavity. Dissecting the pathways used to form stable biofilms and to tolerate environmental stress is central to understanding the virulence of this organism. Here, we investigated the role of the S. mutans...
