Functional characterization of cell-wall-associated protein WapA in Streptococcus mutans.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Aug 2006

Zhu Lin, Kreth Jens, Cross Sarah E, Gimzewski James K, Shi Wenyuan, Qi Fengxia

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus mutans is known as a primary pathogen responsible for dental caries. One of the virulence factors of S. mutans in cariogenicity is its ability to attach to the tooth surface and form a biofilm. Several surface proteins have been shown to be involved in this process. A 29 kDa surface protein named wall-associated protein A (WapA, antigen A or antigen III), was previously used as a vaccine in animal...
