Multilevel Control of Competence Development and Stress Tolerance in Streptococcus mutans UA159

Genetic competence appears to be important in establishment of biofilms and tolerance of environmental insults. We report here that the development of competence is controlled at multiple levels in a complex network that includes two signal-transducing two-component systems (TCS). Using Streptococcu...
