Amino Sugars Reshape Interactions between Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus gordonii

Abstract excerpt

Carbohydrate metabolism is central to the development of dental caries. A variety of sugars available to dental microorganisms influence the development of caries by affecting the physiology, ecology, and pathogenic potential of tooth biofilms. Using two well-characterized oral bacteria, one pathogen ( Streptococcus mutans ) and one commensal ( Streptococcus gordonii ), in an RNA deep-sequencing analysis, we...
