RgpF Is Required for Maintenance of Stress Tolerance and Virulence in Streptococcus mutans.

Journal of bacteriology - 15 Dec 2017

Kovacs C J, Faustoferri R C, Quivey R G

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial cell wall dynamics have been implicated as important determinants of cellular physiology, stress tolerance, and virulence. In Streptococcus mutans, the cell wall is composed primarily of a rhamnose-glucose polysaccharide (RGP) linked to the peptidoglycan. Despite extensive studies describing its formation and composition, the potential roles for RGP in S. mutans biology have not been well investigated....
