The LiaFSR System Regulates the Cell Envelope Stress Response in<i>Streptococcus mutans</i>
28 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Maintaining cell envelope integrity is critical for bacterial survival, including bacteria living in a complex and dynamic environment such as the human oral cavity. Streptococcus mutans, a major etiological agent of dental caries, uses two-component signal transduction systems (TCSTSs) to monitor and respond to various environmental stimuli. Previous studies have shown that the LiaSR TCSTS in S. mutans regulates...
