Decoding gene expression dynamics in planktonic and biofilm cells of Streptococcus mutans: regulation and role of mutanofactin genes in biofilm formation

IntroductionDental caries is the most prevalent chronic infectious disease globally, with Streptococcus mutans recognized as a primary causative agent due to its acidogenicity and robust biofilm-forming ability. In S. mutans biofilm formation, the role of autoinducers has been extensively studied, w...
