Unbiased homeologous recombination during pneumococcal transformation allows for multiple chromosomal integration events

The spread of antimicrobial resistance and vaccine escape in the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae can be largely attributed to competence-induced transformation. Here, we studied this process at the single-cell level. We show that within isogenic populations, all cells become naturally compet...
