The impact of exposure to excess zinc on the transcriptome of Streptococcus mutans
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Zinc is a micronutrientient that serves as an important co-factor necessary for enzymatic function. In the host environment, access to metals can be highy restricted. As excess metals can be toxic to the bacterial cell, the host immune system can utilize zinc intoxication as a defense mechanism against bacterial infection. Here, we wanted to identify the transcriptomic response when S. mutans UA159 is exposed to an excess of zinc.
