Phosphatidylcholine Biosynthesis in Mitis Group Streptococci via Host Metabolite Scavenging
6 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
We lack fundamental information about the composition of the cellular membrane even for the best-studied pathogens of critical significance for human health. The mitis group streptococci are closely linked to humans in health and disease, but their membrane biology is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that these streptococci scavenge major human metabolites and use them to synthesize the membrane...
