Hydrogen Peroxide-Dependent DNA Release and Transfer of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Streptococcus gordonii

Certain oral streptococci produce H(2)O(2) under aerobic growth conditions to inhibit competing species like Streptococcus mutans. Additionally, H(2)O(2) production causes the release of extracellular DNA (eDNA). eDNA can participate in several important functions: biofilm formation and cell-cell ag...
