Popis:	Streptococcus mutans is one of the major cariogenic pathogens in the oral cavity. The dlt operon is responsible for the process of D-alanylation of lipoteichoic acid and is related to the virulence of S. mutans. The dlt operon contributes to the adhesion, biofilm formation, stress response, interspecies competitiveness and autolysis of S. mutans. In addition, we have summarized the possible regulatory networks of the dlt operon. This review highlights the significant role of the dlt operon in S. mutans and provides new ideas for ecological caries prevention.
