چکیده

The recent investigation of a gene cluster encoding for a hybrid PKS-NRPS metabolite in the oral pathogen Streptococcus mutans UA159 yielded evidence that this natural product might play an important role regulating a range of stress tolerance factors. We have now characterized the major compound generated from this gene cluster, mutanobactin A, and demonstrated that this secondary metabolite is also capable of influencing the yeast-mycelium transition of Candida albicans.

Fungal biofilm inhibitors from a human oral microbiome-derived bacterium.

The human mouth is home to a rich assortment of native and transient microorganisms. One of the commonly encountered bacterial species, Streptococcus mutans, was shown to generate the novel hybrid polyketide-nonribosomal peptide metabolite mutanobactin A (1). We have characterized three new analogues, mutanobactins B-D (2-4), and subjected these compounds to further biomedical evaluation. Metab...

Candida albicans stimulates Streptococcus mutans microcolony development via cross-kingdom biofilm-derived metabolites

Candida albicans is frequently detected with heavy infection of Streptococcus mutans in plaque-biofilms from children affected with early-childhood caries, a prevalent and costly oral disease. The presence of C. albicans enhances S. mutans growth within biofilms, yet the chemical interactions associated with bacterial accumulation remain unclear. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate ho...

Effect of Isolated Specific Lytic Phage against Growth and Biofilm Inhibition of Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguinis Isolated from Decayed Dental Plaque

Background and purpose: Despite advances in oral health and dental industry, tooth decay remains one of the most common oral diseases. One of the new methods to combat dental plaque, which is the main cause of caries, is using specific lytic bacteriophage. This study aimed to investigate the effect of isolated specific lytic phage against growth and biofilm inhibition of Streptococcus mutans an...

Systems biosynthesis of secondary metabolic pathways within the oral human microbiome member Streptococcus mutans.

Streptococcus mutans, a Gram-positive human commensal and pathogen, is commonly recognized as a primary causative agent in dental caries. Metabolic activity of this strain results in the creation of acids and secreted products are recognized as pathogenic factors and agents that promote immunomodulation by stimulating the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Products of secondary metabolic pa...
