A <i>Streptococcus</i> quorum sensing system enables suppression of innate immunity
2020-12-04
Abstract excerpt
Some bacterial pathogens utilize cell-cell communication systems, such as quorum sensing (QS), to coordinate genetic programs during host colonization and infection. The human-restricted pathosymbiont Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus, GAS) uses the Rgg2/Rgg3 QS system to modify the bacterial surface, enabling biofilm formation and lysozyme resistance. Here, we demonstrate that innate immune cell resp...
