A CRISPRi Library Screen in Group B <i>Streptococcus</i> Identifies Surface Immunogenic Protein (Sip) as a Mediator of Multiple Host Interactions
2024-12-07
Abstract excerpt
Group B Streptococcus (GBS; Streptococcus agalactiae ) is an important pathobiont capable of colonizing various host environments, contributing to severe perinatal infections. Surface proteins play critical roles in GBS-host interactions, yet comprehensive studies of these proteins’ functions have been limited by genetic manipulation challenges. This study leveraged a CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) library to tar...
