Control of competence for DNA transformation in streptococcus suis by genetically transferable pherotypes.

Control of competence for DNA transformation in streptococcus suis by genetically transferable pherotypes.

Here we show that S. suis, a major bacterial pathogen of pigs and emerging pathogen in humans responds to a peptide pheromone by developing competence for DNA transformation. This species does not fall within any of the phylogenetic clusters of streptococci previously shown to regulate competence vi...
