However, this promoter variant does not thrive on its own and is usually co-occurence of the wild-type promoter without "A", showing heterogeneous gene expression during single infections provides population benefits.
This tiny mutation—found not only mouse colonization models but also clinical isolates from the #GPS_project — enhance S. pneumoniae colonization reducing mucus trapping.
