Bacterial membrane vesicles (MVs) are used as a tool for intercellular communication and seem essential for bacterial survival. However, few data are available on MVs generated by Streptococcus mutans, which is the main aetiological agent of dental caries. The present study presents an integrated proteomics and metabolomics analysis of MVs isolated from S. mutans at initial pH values of 7.5 and 5.5 and explores their function. The results showed that S. mutans releases more MVs with smaller diameters under acidic conditions than under neutral conditions. Proteomic analysis showed 344 common vesicular proteins, including various virulence factors. The expressions of 140 individual proteins and 37 metabolites were altered as a result of culturing S. mutans at different pH values. Co-analyses of proteomic and metabolomics data indicated that ABC transporters underwent significant changes under acid pressure. We concluded that S. mutans produced MVs at different pH values to carry proteins associated with cariogenesis. Moreover, the alterations of S. mutans MVs under acid pressure were associated with ABC transporters. These results increase our knowledge of S. mutans MVs and imply that S. mutans MVs may play a functional role in carious infection. • S. mutans MVs contained virulence factor-related proteins, even at low pH values. • Integrated proteomics and metabolomics analysis showed that S. mutans MVs alterations under acidic conditions were associated with ABC transporters.
