Oral bacteria colonize the oral cavity, surrounding complex and variable environments. Post-
translational modifications (PTMs) are an efficient biochemical mechanism across all …

It is widely acknowledged that the human‐associated microbial community influences host
physiology, systemic health, disease progression, and even behavior. There is currently an …

Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is generally regarded as a major contributor to dental
caries because of its ability to synthesize extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) that aid in the …

Hydroxyapatite adsorbs various substances, but little is known about the effects on oral
bacteria of adsorption onto hydroxyapatite derived from scallop shells. In the present study …

Background Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the leading cause of various infective
diseases, including topical soft tissue infections. The goals of this study were to investigate …

Dental caries is a common disease affecting quality of life globally. In the present study, we
found that a bacteriophage lysin LysP53 against Acinetobacter baumannii possesses …

Streptococcus mutans is considered to be a major causative agent of dental caries. VicRK is
a two‐component signal transduction system (TCSTS) of S. mutans, which can regulate the …

Protein lysine malonylation (Kmal) is a novel post-translational modification (PTM) that
regulates various biological pathways such as energy metabolism and translation …

Introduction. Streptococcus mutans, a common species of the oral microbiome, expresses
virulence genes promoting cariogenic dental biofilms, persistence in the bloodstream and …

Dental caries is a global public health problem, being the most common non-communicable
disease. Streptococcus mutans, the causative agent of human cariogenic dental biofilms …
