Interference between Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus: In Vitro Hydrogen Peroxide-Mediated Killing by Streptococcus pneumoniae
(American Society for Microbiology, 2006)The bactericidal activity of Streptococcus pneumoniae toward Staphylococcus aureus is mediated by hydrogen peroxide. Catalase eliminated this activity. Pneumococci grown anaerobically or genetically lacking pyruvate oxidase ... -
Pathogen Diversity and Hidden Regimes of Apparent Competition
(University of Chicago Press, 2013)Competition through cross-reacting host immune responses, a form of apparent competition, is a major driver of pathogen evolution and diversity. Most models of pathogens have focused on intraspecific interactions to explain ... -
SpxB Is a Suicide Gene of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Confers a Selective Advantage in an In Vivo Competitive Colonization Model
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007)The human bacterial pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae dies spontaneously upon reaching stationary phase. The extent of S. pneumoniae death at stationary phase is unusual in bacteria and has been conventionally attributed ...
