Characterization of LrgAB as a stationary phase-specific pyruvate uptake system in Streptococcus mutans

Abstract Background Our recent ‘-omics’ comparisons of Streptococcus mutans wild-type and lrgAB-mutant revealed that this organism undergoes dynamic cellular changes in the face of multiple exogenous stresses, consequently affecting its comprehensive virulence traits. In this current study, we furth...
