Increased oxidative stress tolerance of a spontaneously-occurring <i>perR</i> gene mutation in <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> UA159
2020-09-25
Abstract excerpt
The ability of bacteria such as the dental pathogen Streptococcus mutans to coordinate a response against damage-inducing oxidants is a critical aspect of their pathogenicity. The oxidative stress regulator SpxA1 has been proven to be a major player in the ability of S. mutans to withstand both disulfide and peroxide stresses. While studying spontaneously-occurring variants of an S. mutans Δ spxA1 strain, we s...
