A genome-wide study of two-component signal transduction systems in eight newly sequenced mutans streptococci strains
4 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutans streptococci are a group of gram-positive bacteria including the primary cariogenic dental pathogen Streptococcus mutans and closely related species. Two component systems (TCSs) composed of a signal sensing histidine kinase (HK) and a response regulator (RR) play key roles in pathogenicity, but have not been comparatively studied for these oral bacterial pathogens. RESULTS: HKs and RRs of 8...
