The <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> Rhamnose-glucose Polysaccharide Plays an Important Role in Oxidative Stress Resistance and Iron Homeostasis

2022-11-28

Abstract excerpt

The rhamnose-glucose polysaccharide (RGP) of Streptococcus mutans is known to play an essential role in cell division and biofilm formation. It has become increasingly apparent that the structure plays a role in protection against external stress, including an undefined role in oxidative stress. In this study, we demonstrate that the loss of RGP impairs the uptake of glucose and the susceptibility of S. mutans t...
