While proteinaceous virulence factors and inflammatory pathways have been extensively studied, the contribution of microbial sulfur chemistry to the oral\u2013systemic connection remains poorly understood. Here, we report Raman spectroscopic evidence that two major oral pathogens,\n                    <jats:italic>Streptococcus mutans<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Porphyromonas gingivalis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , actively exploit oxysulfur\/organosulfur molecules as part of their pathogenic arsenal. In the former bacterium, the protein referred to as Collagen binding mutans (Cnm) protein, exhibits a high density of organosulfur-related vibrational signatures, consistent with the presence of chemically reactive sulfur moieties that may promote extracellular matrix adhesion and oxidative stress modulation. In parallel, the latter bacterium selectively enriches its outer membrane vesicles with oxysulfur-associated molecular species, suggesting a vesicle-mediated delivery mechanism for sulfur-based toxins to host cells. These findings point to a convergent strategy whereby chemically aggressive organosulfur and oxysulfur compounds function as molecular effectors at host\u2013pathogen interfaces. By framing sulfur chemistry as a functional dimension of microbial virulence, this study provides a new chemical perspective on the oral\u2013systemic connection and highlights Raman spectroscopy as a powerful tool for uncovering noncanonical pathogenic mechanisms at the molecular scale.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2026.1823575","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,29]],"date-time":"2026-06-29T05:39:52Z","timestamp":1782711592000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Oxysulfur and organosulfur toxins: the hidden mediators of the oral-systemic connection"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Pezzotti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Engineering Center, Kansai Medical University","place":["Hirakata, Osaka, Japan"]},{"name":"International Center for Biomedical Industrial Promotion, Kansai Medical University","place":["Hirakata, Osaka, Japan"]},{"name":"Department of Immunology, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine","place":["Kyoto, Japan"]},{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Tokyo Medical University","place":["Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan"]},{"name":"Department of Molecular Science and Nanosystems, Ca\u2019 Foscari University of Venice","place":["Venice, Italy"]},{"name":"Biomarker Disease Laboratory, IRCCS San Camillo Hospital","place":["Venice, Italy"]},{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, Mie University","place":["Tsu, Mie, Japan"]},{"name":"Teikyo University Institute of Medical Mycology (TIMM), Graduate School of Medicine, Teikyo University","place":["Itabashi-ku, Tokyo, Japan"]},{"name":"Department of Bacteriology, Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences, Hiroshima University","place":["Hiroshima, Japan"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2277","DOI":"10.1128\/iai.00767-10","article-title":"The collagen-binding protein Cnm is required for Streptococcus mutans adherence to and intracellular invasion of human coronary artery endothelial cells","volume":"79","author":"Abranches","year":"2011","journal-title":"Infect.
