A Quorum-Sensing System That Regulates <named-content content-type="genus-species">Streptococcus pneumoniae</named-content> Biofilm Formation and Surface Polysaccharide Production

ABSTRACT Despite vaccines, Streptococcus pneumoniae kills more than a million people yearly. Thus, understanding how pneumococci transition from commensals to pathogens is particularly relevant. Quorum sensing regulates collective behaviors and thus represents a potential driver of commensal-to-path...
