Understanding LrgAB Regulation of Streptococcus mutans Metabolism
Lack of LrgAB renders cariogenic Streptococcus mutans more sensitive to oxidative stress, as well as limits the capacity of this organism to re-uptake pyruvate upon starvation. This study was aimed at investigating the ecological and metabolic contribution of LrgAB to competitive fitness, using S. m...
