The CelB Gene Mediates Erythritol-Induced Inhibition of Exopolysaccharide Synthesis in <i>Streptococcus mutans</i>

<i>Streptococcus mutans</i> is a primary contributor to dental caries due to its ability to form biofilms rich in extracellular polysaccharides (EPS). While erythritol has been recognized for its anti-cariogenic effects, the molecular pathways involved have remained unclear. In this stud...
