Pherotypes are driving genetic differentiation within Streptococcus pneumoniae

7 Sept 2009

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The boundaries of bacterial species and the mechanisms underlying bacterial speciation are matters of intense debate. Theoretical studies have shown that recombination acts as a strong cohesive force preventing divergence in bacterial populations. Streptococcus pneumoniae populations have the telltale signs of high recombination with competence implicated as the major driving force behind gene...
