Autoinducer 2 Signaling via the Phosphotransferase FruA Drives Galactose Utilization by <italic toggle="yes">Streptococcus pneumoniae</italic>, Resulting in Hypervirulence

ABSTRACT Communication between bacterial cells is crucial for the coordination of diverse cellular processes that facilitate environmental adaptation and, in the case of pathogenic species, virulence. This is achieved by the secretion and detection of small signaling molecules called autoinducers, a...
