LytF contributes to pilus extrusion during natural competence in <i>Streptococcus sanguinis</i> SK36

2025-09-04

Abstract excerpt

Streptococci may enter a physiological state called competence, during which they express a specific set of genes required for exogenous DNA uptake and its subsequent integration into the genome through homologous recombination. This process, termed natural transformation, facilitates the horizontal acquisition of genetic material, potentially conferring adaptive advantages that enhance bacterial survival under se...
