Popis: Many streptococci have evolved the ability for natural genetic competence. Recent studies have uncovered regulatory links between competence and the production of antimicrobial peptides called bacteriocins in multiple streptococcal species. This reveals a broadly distributed strategy among streptococci to exploit bacteriocin-mediated killing during competence for adaptive gain.
