The effects of methionine acquisition and synthesis on Streptococcus pneumoniae growth and virulence.
Bacterial pathogens need to acquire nutrients from the host, but for many nutrients their importance during infection remain poorly understood. We have investigated the importance of methionine acquisition and synthesis for Streptococcus pneumoniae growth and virulence using strains with gene deleti...
