C16G2 is a specific targeted antimicrobial peptide (STAMP) that selectively targets the cariogenic oral pathogen Streptococcus mutans. It disrupts the bacterial cell membrane, resulting in leakage of small molecules and loss of membrane potential, ultimately leading to bacterial cell death. C16G2 demonstrates enhanced selectivity and efficacy against Streptococcus mutans compared to broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptides, making it a valuable tool for research in oral microbiology and infection control.
