A ComRS competence pathway in the oral pathogen <i>Streptococcus sobrinus</i>

2020-03-16

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus sobrinus is one of two species of bacteria that cause dental caries (tooth decay) in humans. Our knowledge of S. sobrinus is limited despite the organism's important role in oral health. It is widely believed that S. sobrinus lacks the natural competence pathways that are used by other streptococci to regulate growth, virulence, and quorum sensing. The lack of natural competence has also prevented...
