Functional Characterization of the Chromosomal MazEF Toxin-Antitoxin Addiction System in Streptococcus mutans
Chromosomal toxin-antitoxin (TA) modules have been proposed to function as regulators of cell growth in response to environmental perturbations. The objective of this study was to characterize the MazEF TA system of the human pathogen Streptococcus mutans. Our data showed that the mazEF genes form a...
