Abstract excerpt
Bacteria utilize quorum sensing (QS) to coordinate many group behaviors. As such, QS has attracted significant attention as a potential mean to attenuate bacterial infectivity without introducing selective pressure for resistance development. Streptococcus mitis, a human commensal, acts as a genetic diversity reservoir for Streptococcus pneumoniae, a prevalent human pathogen. S. mitis possesses a typical comABCDE...
