The LuxS protein, encoded by luxS, is required for the production of autoinducer 2 (AI-2) in Streptococcus pneumoniae. The AI-2 molecule serves as a quorum sensing signal, and thus regulates cellular processes such as carbohydrate utilisation and biofilm formation, as well as impacting virulence. The role of luxS in S. pneumoniae biology and lifestyle has been predominantly assessed in the laboratory strain D39. However, as biofilm formation, which is regulated by luxS, is critical for the ability of S. pneumoniae to cause otit
