Quorum Sensing Regulation of Competence and Bacteriocins in Streptococcus pneumoniae and mutans

5 Jan 2017

Abstract excerpt

The human pathogens Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus mutans have both evolved complex quorum sensing (QS) systems that regulate the production of bacteriocins and the entry into the competent state, a requirement for natural transformation. Natural transformation provides bacteria with a mechanism to repair damaged genes or as a source of new advantageous traits. In S. pneumoniae, the competence pathway...
