MgaSpn is a negative regulator of capsule and phosphorylcholine biosynthesis and influences the virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39

Global transcriptional regulators are prevalent in gram-positive pathogens. The transcriptional regulators of the Mga/AtxA family regulate target gene expression by directly binding to the promoter regions, that results in the coordinated expression of virulence factors. The spd_1587 gene of Strepto...
