Metatranscriptomic analysis reveals toxin-antitoxin system shifts in caries-associated oral microbiomes

2025-08-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are bacterial regulatory elements involved in persistence, dormancy, and biofilm stability under stress conditions such as limited nutrients, acid exposure, and antimicrobial treatment. Although their roles are well-characterized in isolated pathogens, TA systems remain largely unexamined in the context of the oral microbiome. Given their potential involvement in m...
