Polyamine Transport Is Required for Stress Responses and Capsule Production in Streptococcus Pneumoniae

2021-02-08

Abstract excerpt

Infections due to Streptococcus pneumoniae , a commensal in the nasopharynx, still claim a significant number of lives worldwide. Genetic plasticity, antibiotic resistance, limited serotype coverage of the available polysaccharide-based conjugate vaccines confounds therapeutic interventions. Pathogenic systems that allow successful adaption and persistence in the host could be potential innovative targets for medi...
