Characterization of Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced DNA Release by Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus gordonii

Extracellular DNA (eDNA) is produced by several bacterial species and appears to contribute to biofilm development and cell-cell adhesion. We present data showing that the oral commensals Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus gordonii release DNA in a process induced by pyruvate oxidase-dependen...
