This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will fund a systematic functional genomics analysis of the oral pathogen Streptococcus mutans. The $838,322 award, granted on Sep 24, 2024, will enable Arkansas State University to: Construct an arrayed and sequence-defined transposon mutant library for S. mutans to systematically identify infection-relevant genes. Study the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $163,411 to The Ohio State University to conduct research on the interactions between the oral bacterium Streptococcus mutans and other commensal oral streptococcal species. The research aims to elucidate the nutritional niches and carbohydrate utilization preferences of these microbes within oral biofilms, with...
This Project Grant award of $310,000.00 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) federal grant program, will fund research to identify natural products synthesized by Streptococcus mutans bacteria that can kill the pathogen Enterococcus faecalis. The research aims to determine if S. mutans biofilms producing these natural products can exclude E. faecalis from invading pre-formed biofilms and shape the...
This Project Grant award, valued at $470,279.00 and awarded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research on the impact of bacterial oxidative stress responses on the ecology and pathogenicity of oral streptococci. The key goals are to identify and characterize the mechanisms by which oral streptococci, including the health-associated Streptococcus sanguinis and the caries-associated...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will support research to investigate functional amyloid formation in the oral bacterium Streptococcus mutans. The total funding amount is $505,530 and the award period runs from September 16, 2024 to September 15, 2025. The key research objectives include: (1) exploring the relationships between S. mutans amyloid-forming...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), will support research to investigate the mechanisms of integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) in the oral bacterium Streptococcus mutans. The $1,072,058 award to Arkansas State University will enable the research team, in collaboration with a sub-awardee at Purdue University, to dissect the regulatory mechanisms controlling...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), is providing $273,009 to Virginia Commonwealth University to characterize a conserved streptococcal membrane protein and its role in manganese utilization and oxidative stress resistance. The goal is to determine the crystal structure and functional characterization of this protein, which is hypothesized to be an acyltransferase...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), funded under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research to study essential genes in the oral pathobiont Fusobacterium nucleatum. The $429,000 award to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston aims to investigate the molecular basis for the essentiality of the FomA gene and systematically identify other essential genes in F. nucleatum. The goal...
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $658,750 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research (CFDA 93.121) program to the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Inc. to explore the physiological role of arginine phosphorylation in the dental pathogen Streptococcus mutans and identify the kinase enzyme responsible. The 2-year project aims to advance understanding of this novel post-translational modification and its...
This federal Project Grant award of $460,885 from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), supports research on how the fungus Candida albicans interacts with the bacterium Streptococcus mutans to enhance the formation and virulence of cariogenic biofilms. The primary objectives are to identify the transcription factors and protein kinases in Candida albicans that regulate its interactions with...
