Article Synopsis
- Streptococcus agalactiae is a significant cause of neonatal infections, thriving in the vagina by adapting to acidic conditions and hydrogen peroxide from lactobacilli.
- The transcriptional regulator CcpA is crucial for gene regulation in S. agalactiae, influencing around 13.5% of its genome, particularly in carbon metabolism and the response to stress.
- Our research shows CcpA is vital for the bacterium’s survival under acidic and oxidative stress, highlighting its role beyond just carbon regulation and emphasizing the importance of understanding these adaptation mechanisms for addressing neonatal infections.
