Construction of a genome-wide pooled CRISPRi library as a resource for exploring the acid tolerance mechanism in <i>Streptococcus mutans</i>
2025-07-22
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus mutans is recognized as the primary etiological agent of dental caries, one of the most prevalent infectious diseases globally. Its remarkable acid tolerance enables survival and proliferation in the low-pH biofilm microenvironment, establishing S. mutans as the dominant species in dental plaque and a key contributor to cariogenesis. Although numerous studies have identified genes linked to acid tol...
