Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cell-cell communication (CCC) systems are key regulators of bacterial behaviors and adaptation. The human upper respiratory tract is co-colonized by commensal and pathogenic streptococci, but how CCC systems mediate their interactions remains unclear. Here, we investigated the TprA/PhrA quorum-sensing system, composed of the transcription factor TprA and its cognate signaling peptide PhrA, acros...
