TCS01 Two-Component System Influenced the Virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae by Regulating PcpA.

Streptococcus pneumoniae relies on two-component systems (TCSs) to regulate the processes of pathogenicity, osmotic pressure, chemotaxis, and energy metabolism. The TCS01 system of S. pneumoniae is composed of HK01 (histidine kinase) and RR01 (response regulator).
