Competence in Streptococcus pneumoniae and Close Commensal Relatives: Mechanisms and Implications

3 Apr 2019

Abstract excerpt

The mitis group of streptococci comprises species that are common colonizers of the naso-oral-pharyngeal tract of humans. Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus mitis are close relatives and share approximately 60 to 80% of orthologous genes, but still present striking differences in pathogenic potential towards the human host. S. mitis has long been recognized as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes...
