Conserved Mutations in the Pneumococcal Bacteriocin Transporter Gene, <italic toggle="yes">blpA</italic>, Result in a Complex Population Consisting of Producers and Cheaters

ABSTRACT All fully sequenced strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae possess a version of the blp locus, which is responsible for bacteriocin production and immunity. Activation of the blp locus is stimulated by accumulation of the peptide pheromone, BlpC, following its secretion by the ABC transporter,...
