An Auto-Regulating Type II Toxin-Antitoxin System Modulates Drug Resistance and Virulence in Streptococcus suis

An Auto-Regulating Type II Toxin-Antitoxin System Modulates Drug Resistance and Virulence in Streptococcus suis

Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are ubiquitous genetic elements that play an essential role in multidrug tolerance and virulence of bacteria. So far, little is known about the TA systems in Streptococcus suis. In this study, the Xress-MNTss TA system, composed of the MNTss toxin in the periplasmic spac...
