The pneumococcal bacteriocin streptococcin B is produced as part of the early competence cascade and promotes intraspecies competition
ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important human pathogen that normally resides in the human nasopharynx. Competence-mediated bacteriocin expression by S. pneumoniae plays a major role in both the establishment and persistence of colonization on this polymicrobial surface. Over 20 distinct ba...
