The Pst system of Streptococcus mutans is important for phosphate transport and adhesion to abiotic surfaces

Summary The Pst system is a high‐affinity inorganic phosphate transporter found in many bacterial species. Streptococcus mutans, the etiological agent of tooth decay, carries a single copy of the pst operon composed of six cistrons (pstS, pstC1, pstC, pstB, smu.1134 and phoU). Here, we show that del...
