Abstract excerpt
The peptide SpiP of Streptococcus pneumoniae regulates the induction of a complex signal transduction system spiR1spiR2spiH. Distinct alleles of spiP and the receptor histidine protein kinase gene spiH were recognized in different pneumococcal clones. The spi system in strain KNR7/87 is adjacent to a bacteriocin gene cluster encoding putative double glycine-type bacteriocins, immunity proteins, and translocator...
