The EIIABManPhosphotransferase System Permease Regulates Carbohydrate Catabolite Repression inStreptococcus gordonii

Abstract excerpt

Commensal oral streptococci play critical roles in oral biofilm formation and promote dental health by competing with, and antagonizing the growth of, pathogenic organisms, such as Streptococcus mutans. Efficient utilization of the spectrum of carbohydrates in the oral cavity by commensal streptococci is essential for their persistence, and yet very little is known about the regulation of carbohydrate catabolism...
