Fluoride export is required for the competitive fitness of pathogenic microorganisms in dental biofilm models

ABSTRACTMicroorganisms resist fluoride toxicity using fluoride export proteins from one of several different molecular families. Cariogenic species Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans extrude intracellular fluoride using a CLCF F-/H+ antiporter and FEX fluoride channel, respectively, whereas o...
