(Submitter supplied) PcsB is a protein of unknown function that plays a critical role in cell division in Streptococcus pneumoniae and other ovococcus species of Streptococcus. We constructed isogenic sets of mutants expressing different amounts of PcsB in laboratory strain R6 and virulent serotype 2 strain D39 to evaluate its cellular roles. Insertion mutagenesis in parent and pcsB+ merodiploid strains indicated that pcsB is essential in serotype 2 S. more...

(Submitter supplied) Transcriptome analysis of D39 rel+Spn and delta-relSpn strains treated with mupirocin revealed relSpn-independent (translation stress), relSpn-dependent (stringent response), and delta-relSpn-dependent changes suggesting that relSpn and (p)ppGpp amount play wide-ranging homeostatic roles in pneumococcal physiology, besides adjusting macromolecular synthesis and transport in response to nutrient availability.

(Submitter supplied) Unlike most bacteria, Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) has two evolutionarily distinct ABC transporters (Pst1 and Pst2) for inorganic phosphate (Pi) uptake. The genes encoding a two-component regulator (PnpRS) are located immediately upstream of the pst1 operon. Both the pst1 and pst2 operons encode putative PhoU regulators (PhoU1 and PhoU2) at their ends.his study addresses why S. pneumoniae contains dual Pi uptake systems and the regulation and contribution of the Pst1 and Pst2 systems in conditions of high (mM) Pi amount and low (μM) Pi amount. more...

(Submitter supplied) Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a leading human respiratory pathogen that causes a variety of serious mucosal and invasive diseases. D39 is an historically important serotype 2 strain that was used in experiments by Avery and coworkers to demonstrate that DNA is the genetic material. Although isolated nearly a century ago, D39 remains extremely virulent in murine infection models and is perhaps the strain used most frequently in current studies of pneumococcal pathogenicity. more...

(Submitter supplied) Comparison of the Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 spxB- mutant vs D39. For DNA microarray analysis, D39 wild-type and two independently obtained D39spxB- mutants were grown as four, two and two biological replicates, respectively, in Glc-M17 under semi-aerobic conditions and harvested at an OD595 of approximately 0.25 (mid-exponential). The RNA of both D39spxB- strains was compared to D39 and the combined data was analyzed. more...

(Submitter supplied) P. multocida is the causative agent of a wide range of diseases of animals, including fowl cholera in birds. Fowl cholera isolates of P. multocida generally express a capsular polysaccharide composed of hyaluronic acid. There have been reports of spontaneous capsule loss in P. multocida fowl cholera-causing strains but the mechanism by which this occurs has not been determined. In this study, we identified three independent strains that had spontaneously lost the ability to produce capsular polysaccharide. more...

(Submitter supplied) Infection of the human host by Streptococcus pneumoniae begins with colonization of the nasopharynx, which is mediated by adherence of bacteria to respiratory epithelium. Several studies have indicated an important role for the pneumococcal capsule in this process. Here, we used microarrays to characterize the in vitro transcriptional response of human nasopharyngeal epithelial Detroit 562 cells to adherence of serotype 2-encapsulated strain D39, serotype 19F-encapsulated strain G54, serotype 4-encapsulated strain TIGR4, and their nonencapsulated derivatives (Δcps). more...

(Submitter supplied) Genome-wide screens have discovered a large set of essential genes in the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae. However, the function of many essential genes is still unknown, hampering vaccine and drug development programs. Based on results from transposon-sequencing (Tn-Seq), we refined the list of essential genes in S. pneumoniae serotype 2 strain D39. Next, we created a knockdown library targeting all 391 potentially essential genes using CRISPR interference (CRISPRi). more...

(Submitter supplied) In ellipsoid-shaped ovococcus bacteria, such as the respiratory pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), side-wall (peripheral) peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis emanates from midcells and is catalyzed by the essential class B penicillin-binding protein PBP2b transpeptidase (TP). We report that mutations that inactivate the pneumococcal YceG-domain protein, Spd_1346 (renamed MltG), remove the requirement for PBP2b. more...

(Submitter supplied) Streptococcus pneumoniae is a human commensal bacterium that causes serious diseases. Peptidoglycan (PG) is the critical component of bacteria that maintains cell shape, size, chaining, and turgor resistance. Because of its surface exposure and eubacterial-specific mechanism of biosynthesis, PG biosynthesis remains an outstanding target for discovery of new antibiotics to resistant “superbugs,” like S. more...
