Genetic Mutations That Confer Fluoride Resistance Modify Gene Expression and Virulence Traits of Streptococcus mutans

Fluoride is an inorganic monatomic anion that is widely used as an anti-cariogenic agent for the control of caries development. The aims of this study were to identify the mutated genes that give rise to fluoride-resistant (FR) strains of the cariogenic pathogen Streptococcus mutans and explore how...
