Role of sortase in Streptococcus mutans under the effect of nicotine.

International journal of oral science - 1 Dec 2013

Li Ming-Yun, Huang Rui-Jie, Zhou Xue-Dong, Gregory Richard L

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus mutans is a common Gram-positive bacterium and plays a significant role in dental caries. Tobacco and/or nicotine have documented effects on S. mutans growth and colonization. Sortase A is used by many Gram-positive bacteria, including S. mutans, to facilitate the insertion of certain cell surface proteins, containing an LPXTGX motif such as antigen I/II. This study examined the effect of nicotine...
