Exploration of bacterial bottlenecks and <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> pathogenesis by CRISPRi-seq
2020-04-23
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a commensal bacterium of the human nasopharynx, but can cause harmful infections if it spreads to other parts of the body, such as pneumonia, sepsis or meningitis. To facilitate pathogenesis studies, we constructed a doxycycline-inducible pooled CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) library targeting all operons in protypical S. pneumoniae strain D39V. Our library design allows fitness within...
