Identification of Pneumococcal Factors Affecting Pneumococcal Shedding Shows that the <italic toggle="yes">dlt</italic> Locus Promotes Inflammation and Transmission
ABSTRACT Host-to-host transmission is a necessary but poorly understood aspect of microbial pathogenesis. Herein, we screened a genomic library of mutants of the leading respiratory pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae generated by mariner transposon mutagenesis (Tn-Seq) to identify genes contributing...
