A bacterial cell wall repair and modification system to resist host antibacterial factors

2024-11-09

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic bacteria have acquired the ability to resist antibacterial defense mechanisms of the host. Streptococci are common in animal microbiota and include opportunistic pathogens like Group A Streptococcus (GAS) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus). While the conserved streptococcal S protein has been identified as a key factor in GAS virulence, its exact function is unclear. Here, we show that the pne...
