Identification and characterization of DNA receptor candidates in Haemophilus influenzae

Haemophilus influenzae is a naturally transformable bacterium with a mechanism for the preferential uptake of conspecific DNA. This mechanism requires the specific recognition of uptake signal sequences (USS) on exogenous DNA by receptors on the bacterial cell surface. The USS-specific DNA receptor...
