Genomic and functional insights into commensal streptococci with anti-pneumococcal activity

Abstract Background Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), S. mitis, and S. oralis are closely related bacteria that colonize the human upper respiratory tract. While pneumococcus is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, S. mitis and S. oralis are generally considered commensals, rare...
