The Role of <i>luxS</i> in the Middle Ear <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> Isolate 947

The Role of <i>luxS</i> in the Middle Ear <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> Isolate 947

The LuxS protein, encoded by <i>luxS</i>, is required for the production of autoinducer 2 (AI-2) in <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>. The AI-2 molecule serves as a quorum sensing signal, and thus regulates cellular processes such as carbohydrate utilisation and biofilm formati...
