Redox-Regulated Adaptation of Streptococcus oligofermentans to Hydrogen Peroxide Stress

The catalase-negative streptococci produce as well as tolerate high levels of H2O2. This work reports the molecular mechanisms of low-H2O2-concentration-induced adaptation to higher H2O2 stress in a Streptococcus species, in which the peroxide-responsive repressor PerR and its redox regulons play th...
