PdtaS Deficiency Affects Resistance of Mycobacteria to Ribosome Targeting Antibiotics.

abstract：:Capsular polysaccharides (CPS), a major virulence factor in Streptococcus pneumoniae, become thicker during blood invasion while not during asymptomatic nasopharyngeal colonization. However, the underlying mechanism controlling this differential pneumococcal CPS regulation remain unclear. Here, we show how VncR, the r...
