ABSTRACT Successful gastrointestinal (GI) colonization by bacterial pathogens requires adaptation to nutrient competition and host-derived stresses in the gut, with adaptation via the bacterial stringent stress response playing a critical role. Epidemiological data suggest that the GI tract serves as a reservoir from w...

ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) asymptomatically colonizes the upper respiratory tract (URT), a niche from which it can transmit to another host or cause invasive disease in the same host. The in vivo transcriptional adaptations that Spn undergoes during nasopharyngeal colonization, particularly during influenz...
