Quorum Sensing Regulation of Competence and Bacteriocins in Streptococcus pneumoniae and mutans
The human pathogens Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus mutans have both evolved complex quorum sensing (QS) systems that regulate the production of bacteriocins and the entry into the competent state, a requirement for natural transformation. Natural transformation provides bacteria with a m...
