The ComEA/ComEC Operon is Critical for Nitrosative Stress Tolerance by an Oral Commensal
production, and was defective for colonization in a Drosophila melanogaster colonization model. In summary, our data show that the ComEA/EC DNA uptake operon is critical for key aspects of S. parasanguinis physiology and potentially impacts S. parasanguinis's ability to colonize and modulate homeostasis in the oral cavity.
