Pherotypes are driving genetic differentiation within Streptococcus pneumoniae
BACKGROUND: The boundaries of bacterial species and the mechanisms underlying bacterial speciation are matters of intense debate. Theoretical studies have shown that recombination acts as a strong cohesive force preventing divergence in bacterial populations. Streptococcus pneumoniae populations hav...
