摘要: Bacteria in their natural ecosystems preferentially grow as polysaccharide-encased biofilms attached to surfaces. Although quorum-sensing (QS) systems directing the 'biofilm phenotype' have been extensively described Gram-negative bacteria, there is little understanding of importance these Gram-positive biofilm formation. Streptococci are a diverse group bacteria that colonize epithelial, mucosal and tooth surfaces humans. In several streptococci, competence-stimulating peptide (CSP)-mediated QS has connected with competence development for genetic transformation. Recent work, especially inhabit dental plaque, linked CSP stimuli other cell-density adaptations, such
