IrvA-dependent and IrvA-independent pathways for mutacin gene regulation in Streptococcus mutans.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Aug 2006

Tsang Phoebe, Merritt Justin, Shi Wenyuan, Qi Fengxia

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus mutans is a primary pathogen associated with dental caries. Its bacteriocin (mutacin) production ability is thought to play an important role in maintaining competitiveness in the multispecies oral biofilm. Previous studies have demonstrated that the production of the lantibiotic, mutacin I, is responsive to multiple input signals and that a putative inducible repressor, irvA, seems to be involved...
