Gene Expression Platform for Synthetic Biology in the Human Pathogen <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>
20 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
The human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a bacterium that owes its success to complex gene expression regulation patterns on both the cellular and the population level. Expression of virulence factors enables a mostly hazard-free presence of the commensal, in balance with the host and niche competitors. Under specific circumstances, changes in this expression can result in a more aggressive...
