A model of efficiency: stress tolerance by Streptococcus mutans

28 Oct 2008

Abstract excerpt

The complete genome sequence of Streptococcus mutans, a bacterial pathogen commonly associated with human dental caries, was published in 2002. The streamlined genome (2.03 Mb) revealed an organism that is well adapted to its obligately host-associated existence in multispecies biofilms on tooth surfaces: a dynamic environment that undergoes rapid and substantial fluctuations. However, S. mutans lacks many of the...
