Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pneumoniae is an opportunistic pathogen that can alter its cell surface phenotype in response to the host environment. We demonstrated that the transcriptional regulator FabT is an indirect regulator of capsular polysaccharide, an important virulence factor of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Transcriptome analysis between the wild-type D39s and D39ΔfabT mutant strains unexpectedly identified a...
