Genomic and phenotypic characterization of Streptococcus mutans isolates suggests key gene clusters in regulating its interaction with Streptococcus gordonii
Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is one of the primary pathogens responsible for dental caries. Streptococcus gordonii (S. gordonii) is one of the early colonizers of dental plaque and can compete with S. mutans for growth. In the present analysis, we explored key target genes against S. gordonii in...
