Removal of acetylation by pneumococcal esterases potentiates neuraminidase activity for mucin utilisation, colonisation and virulence
The genome of pneumococcal strains contains 4 putative esterase genes (SPD_0534, estA; SPD_0932; SPD_1239; and SPD_1506, axe). Esterases have been reported to be important for bacterial physiology and virulence in other microorganisms but their role in S. pneumoniae is unknown. We hypothesised that...
