Inhibitory effect of capsule on natural transformation of <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>

2025-05-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The capsule of Streptococcus pneumoniae ( Spn ) is highly heterogeneous based on expression of distinct polysaccharides. Spn transformation, controlled by the Com regulon, has been predominantly focused on unencapsulated laboratory strains. However, genomic studies revealed different rates of recombination events in clinical isolates of different serotypes. As these isolates were genetically...
