A plasmid in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
Plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid has been detected in three related laboratory strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Strains D39S, R36, and R36NC each contain a minimum of two copies per cell of a 2.0-megadalton plasmid (pDP1). A plasmid twice as large as this smaller one is also present in much lower quantity in these strains, but neither plasmid is ...

Lysogeny in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]
Bacterial viruses, or bacteriophages, are major contributors to the evolution, pathogenesis and overall biology of their host bacteria. During their life cycle, temperate bacteriophages form stable associations with their host by integrating into the chromosome, a process called lysogeny.

Research on Streptococcus pneumoniae has revealed key aspects in the study of infectious diseases and pathogen evolution, but pneumococci remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality. New insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of this species confirmed the key role of the capsular polysaccharide but have also identified the important functions ...
