Regulation of the Arginine Deiminase System by ArgR2 Interferes with Arginine Metabolism and Fitness of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Streptococcus pneumoniae</named-content>

ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae is auxotrophic for arginine, and molecular analysis of the pneumococcal genome showed that the gene encoding an arginine-ornithine antiporter (ArcD) is organized in a cluster together with the arcABC genes encoding the arginine deiminase system (ADS) of pneumococci....
