Versatility of the capsular genes during biofilm formation by Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Environmental microbiology - 1 Oct 2009

Domenech Mirian, García Ernesto, Moscoso Miriam

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae forms part of the natural microbiota of the nasopharynx. For the pneumococcus to cause infection, colonization needs to occur and this process is mediated by adherence of bacteria to the respiratory epithelium. Although the capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of S. pneumoniae is known to be important for infection to occur, its role in colonization is controversial. Biofilm models are starting...
