The pneumococcal bacteriocin streptococcin B is produced as part of the early competence cascade and promotes intraspecies competition

2024-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important human pathogen that normally resides in the human nasopharynx. Competence mediated bacteriocin expression by S pneumoniae plays a major role in both the establishment and persistence of colonization on this polymicrobial surface. Over 20 distinct bacteriocin loci have been identified in pneumococcal genomes, but only a small number have been characterized phenotypically. I...
