[ 1 ] - Real-time RT PCR Evaluation of the Xylitol Effect on the Expression of Streptococcus pneumoniae cpsB,cpsD and psaA Genes

Background and Objective: The major pneumococcal pathogenesis factor is the capsular polysaccharide. the production of polysaccharide is regulated by cpsB and cpsD genes. Thus, every agent that induce or inhibition of expression of these genes probably increased pathogenesis of bacteria, intracellular survival and vis versa. The aim of this study was to assay the effect of Xylitol on Streptococ...
