Contribution of a Genomic Accessory Region Encoding a Putative Cellobiose Phosphotransferase System to Virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is a formidable human pathogen, responsible for massive global morbidity and mortality. The ability to utilize carbohydrates in a variety of host niches appears to be integral to pneumococcal pathogenesis. In this study we investigated a genomic island, wh...
