Deacetylation of sialic acid by esterases potentiates pneumococcal neuraminidase activity for mucin utilization, colonization and virulence
Pneumococcal neuraminidase is a key enzyme for sequential deglycosylation of host
glycans, and plays an important role in host survival, colonization, and pathogenesis of …

Rgg-Shp regulators are important for pneumococcal colonization and invasion through their effect on mannose utilization and capsule synthesis
Microbes communicate with each other by using quorum sensing (QS) systems and
modulate their collective 'behavior'for in-host colonization and virulence, biofilm formation …
