A novel streptococcal cell–cell communication peptide promotes pneumococcal virulence and biofilm formation

29 May 2017

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a major human pathogen. It is a common colonizer of the human respiratory track, where it utilizes cell-cell communication systems to coordinate population-level behaviors. We reasoned that secreted peptides that are highly expressed during infection are pivotal for virulence. Thus, we used in silico pattern searches to define a pneumococcal secretome and analyzed the...
