Murein Hydrolase LytF of Streptococcus sanguinis and the Ecological Consequences of Competence Development.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 15 Dec 2017

Cullin Nyssa, Redanz Sylvio, Lampi Kirsten J, Merritt Justin, Kreth Jens

Abstract excerpt

The overall health of the oral cavity is dependent on proper homeostasis between health-associated bacterial colonizers and bacteria known to promote dental caries. Streptococcus sanguinis is a health-associated commensal organism, a known early colonizer of the acquired tooth pellicle, and is naturally competent. We have shown that LytF, a competence-controlled murein hydrolase, is capable of inducing the...
