Complement active human and porcine serum induces natural competence for genetic transformation in the emerging zoonotic pathogen <i>Streptococcus suis</i>

2020-03-20

Abstract excerpt

The acquisition of novel genetic traits by natural competence is a strategy used by bacteria in microbe-rich environments including animal or human hosts where microbial competition, antibiotics and host immune defences threaten their survival. We show here that several virulent strains of Streptococcus suis , an important porcine pathogen and zoonotic agent, become naturally competent for genetic transformation...
