Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitansarcB influences hydrophobic properties, biofilm formation and adhesion to hydroxyapatite ArcB em Aggregatibacter actinomycetmcomitans influencia propriedades hidrofóbicas, formação de biofilme e aderência a hidroxiapatita

The regulation of gene expression in the oral pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is still not fully elucidated. ArcAB is a two-component system which allows facultative anaerobic bacteria to sense various respiratory growth conditions and adapt their gene expression accordingly. This stu...
