Abstract:

Dental caries is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases. Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is regarded as the major etiological pathogen. Sugars are the major carbohydrate sources used by bacteria and act as important substance basis for energy metabolism, material metabolism and physiological functions. Sugar transporter is the first process of sugar metabolism and is closely related to the formation of cariogenic virulence factors of S. mutans. This article reviewed the research progress on the ways of sugar transporter and its regulatory mechanisms of S. mutans to provide a reference for the research of sugar transport-related mechanisms in other oral bacterial.

Key words: dental caries, Streptococcus mutans, sugar transporter, regulatory mechanisms
