Genetic transformation of Streptococcus pneumoniae by heterologous plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid.

abstract：:The virulence factors of the cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus sobrinus have been difficult to assess because of a lack of tools for the genetic manipulation of this organism. The construction of an Escherichia coli-Streptococcus shuttle vector, pDL289, that can be mobilized into S. sobrinus by the conjugative plasmi...
