A genome-wide in vivo screen reveals fitness pathways required for streptococcal infective endocarditis

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening disease most often caused by blood-borne bacteria that infect previously damaged cardiac tissue. Despite the importance of this disease, the genetic basis for IE-associated fitness remains poorly defined. Here, we present the first genome-wide in vivo analysis of bacter...
