The arginine-ornithine antiporter ArcD contributes to biological fitness of Streptococcus suis

The arginine-ornithine antiporter ArcD contributes to biological fitness of Streptococcus suis

The arginine-ornithine antiporter (ArcD) is part of the Arginine Deiminase System (ADS), a catabolic, energy-providing pathway found in a variety of different bacterial species, including the porcine zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis. The ADS has recently been shown to play a role in the pathogen...
