Description
Summary:is one of the major cariogenic pathogens in the oral cavity. The operon is responsible for the process of D-alanylation of lipoteichoic acid and is related to the virulence of . The operon contributes to the adhesion, biofilm formation, stress response, interspecies competitiveness and autolysis of . In addition, we have summarized the possible regulatory networks of the operon. This review highlights the significant role of the operon in and provides new ideas for ecological caries prevention.
