Commensal Oral Rothia mucilaginosa Produces Enterobactin, a Metal-Chelating Siderophore

Abstract excerpt

The communication language of the human oral microbiota is vastly underexplored. However, a few studies have shown that specialized small molecules encoded by BGCs have critical roles such as in colonization resistance against pathogens and quorum sensing. Here, by using a genome mining approach in combination with compound screening of growth cultures, we identified that the commensal oral community member R....
