Refining the pneumococcal competence regulon by RNA-sequencing

2018-12-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Competence for genetic transformation allows the opportunistic human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae to take up exogenous DNA for incorporation into its own genome. This ability may account for the extraordinary genomic plasticity of this bacterium, leading to antigenic variation, vaccine escape, and the spread of antibiotic resistance markers. The competence system has been thoroughly studie...
