Variation in transformation frequency and competence gene expression among serotype 3 Streptococcus pneumoniae

2024-08-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Streptococcus pneumoniae is a human commensal and the causative agent of pneumococcal disease. Pneumococci are naturally competent – able to uptake exogenous DNA from the environment and incorporate it into their genome through homologous and non- homologous recombination. Recombination has significantly shaped the evolutionary history of S. pneumoniae, as it allows pneumococci to rapidly adap...
