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...
