Zinc Import Mediated by AdcABC is Critical for Colonization of the Dental Biofilm by <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> in an Animal Model

2021-01-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Trace metals are essential to all domains of life but toxic when found at high concentrations. While the importance of iron in host-pathogen interactions is firmly established, contemporary studies indicate that other trace metals, including manganese and zinc, are also critical to the infectious process. In this study, we sought to identify and characterize the zinc uptake system(s) of S. mutan...
