Quantitative Proteomics Uncovers the Interaction between a Virulence Factor and Mutanobactin Synthetases in <italic toggle="yes">Streptococcus mutans</italic>

ABSTRACT Streptococcus mutans, the primary etiological agent of tooth decay, has developed multiple adhesion and virulence factors which enable it to colonize and compete with other bacteria. The putative glycosyltransferase SMU_833 is important for the virulence of S. mutans by altering the biofilm...
