Control of Competence for DNA Transformation in Streptococcus suis by Genetically Transferable Pherotypes

26 Jun 2014

Abstract excerpt

Here we show that S. suis, a major bacterial pathogen of pigs and emerging pathogen in humans responds to a peptide pheromone by developing competence for DNA transformation. This species does not fall within any of the phylogenetic clusters of streptococci previously shown to regulate competence via peptide pheromones suggesting that more species of streptococci may be naturally competent. Induction of...
