ZccE is a Novel P-type ATPase That Protects <i>Streptococcus mutans</i> Against Zinc Intoxication

2022-03-29

Abstract excerpt

Zinc is a trace metal that is essential to all forms of life, but that becomes toxic at high concentrations. Because it has both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties and low toxicity to mammalian cells, zinc has been used as a therapeutic agent for centuries to treat a variety of infectious and non-infectious conditions. While the usefulness of zinc-based therapies in caries prevention is controversial,...
