Choline-binding protein D (CbpD) in Streptococcus pneumoniae is essential for competence-induced cell lysis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jul 2005

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important human pathogen that is able to take up naked DNA from the environment by a quorum-sensing-regulated process called natural genetic transformation. This property enables members of this bacterial species to efficiently acquire new properties that may increase their ability to survive and multiply in the human host. We have previously reported that induction of the competent...
