The impact of the competence quorum sensing system on Streptococcus pneumoniae biofilms varies depending on the experimental model

BACKGROUND: Different models for biofilm in Streptococcus pneumoniae have been described in literature. To permit comparison of experimental data, we characterised the impact of the pneumococcal quorum-sensing competence system on biofilm formation in three models. For this scope, we used two microt...
