Repurposing the Streptococcus mutans CRISPR-Cas9 System to Understand Essential Gene Function

A recent genome-wide screen identified ~300 essential or growth-supporting genes in the dental caries pathogen Streptococcus mutans. To be able to study these genes, we built a CRISPR interference tool around the Cas9 nuclease (Cas9(Smu)) encoded in the S. mutans UA159 genome. Using a xylose-inducib...
