Competence-induced protein Ccs4 facilitates pneumococcal invasion into brain tissue and virulence in meningitis
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major pathogen that causes pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis. The candidate combox site 4 (ccs4) gene has been reported to be a pneumococcal competence-induced gene. Such genes are involved in development of S. pneumoniae competence and virulence, though the functions o...
