Genome-Wide Identification of Genes Essential for the Survival of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Human Saliva

Since Streptococcus pneumoniae transmits through droplet spread, this respiratory tract pathogen may be able to survive in saliva. Here, we show that saliva supports survival of clinically relevant S. pneumoniae strains for more than 24 h in a capsule-independent manner. Moreover, saliva induced gro...
