Identification of a Quorum Sensing System Regulating Capsule Polysaccharide Production and Biofilm Formation in Streptococcus zooepidemicus
18 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus zooepidemicus is an important opportunistic pathogen of several species including humans. This organism is also well known as the main producing strain in industrial production of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is the component of its capsule polysaccharide. How its virulence and capsule polysaccharide production is regulated remains poorly understood. Intercellular chemical signaling among bacteria...
