Acquired CRISPR spacers and rhamnose-glucose polysaccharide defects confer resistance to <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> phage ɸAPCM01

2025-05-07

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus mutans is a major cause of dental caries worldwide. Targeted therapeutic strategies to eradicate S. mutans include oral phage rinses. In this study, we investigated how phage resistance develops in S. mutans . As a model phage, we used ɸAPCM01, which is known to infect a serotype e strain. We isolated and sequenced the genomes of 15 spontaneous resistant mutants and found that 10 had acquired novel...
