Conserved Pheromone Production, Response and Degradation by Streptococcus mutans

Conserved Pheromone Production, Response and Degradation by Streptococcus mutans

Streptococcus mutans, a bacterium with high cariogenic potential, coordinates competence for natural transformation and bacteriocin production via the XIP and CSP pheromones. CSP is effective in inducing bacteriocin responses but not competence in chemically defined media (CDM). This is in contrast...
