An Update on the Evolution of Glucosyltransferase (Gtf) Genes in Streptococcus.

abstract：:The prevalence of digestive disorders has increased globally, as countries have adopted a more "Westernized" diet pattern. A Western diet, characterized as high in fat and refined carbohydrates, can also be defined as a product of increased technology and industrialization. Modern farmers rely on agrochemicals to meet...
