A galactose-specific sugar: phosphotransferase permease is prevalent in the non-core genome of Streptococcus mutans.

Molecular oral microbiology - 1 Aug 2013

Zeng L, Xue P, Stanhope M J, Burne R A

Abstract excerpt

Three genes predicted to encode the A, B and C domains of a sugar : phosphotransferase system (PTS) permease specific for galactose\(EII(Gal) ) were identified in the genomes of 35 of 57 recently sequenced isolates of Streptococcus mutans, the primary etiological agent of human dental caries. Mutants defective in the EII(Gal) complex were constructed in six of the isolates and showed markedly reduced growth rates...
