Carbonic Anhydrase Is Essential for<i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>Growth in Environmental Ambient Air
5 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
The respiratory tract pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae needs to adapt to the different levels of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) it encounters during transmission, colonization, and infection. Since CO(2) is important for various cellular processes, factors that allow optimal CO(2) sequestering are likely to be important for pneumococcal growth and survival. In this study, we showed that the putative pneumococcal...
