Abstract

Streptococcus pneumoniae are natural competent bacteria which requires the presence of a pheromone-like molecule to do the transformation process. This study verified the influence of mesoporous silica (SBA-15 and SBA-16) on the transformation process in S. pneumoniae using a donor DNA obtained from a mutant strain of this microorganism (Sp360∆luxS). The results showed that mesoporous silica SBA-15 and SBA-16 particles doubled the transformation ratio frequency compared with negative control (without nanoparticles) in using SBA-15 (ratio 1.81 ± 0.04) and SBA-16 (ratio 2.18 ± 0.22). We demonstrated the how mesoporous silica nanoparticles were able to increase the pneumococcus transformations, which could possibly lead to the acquisition of virulence factor genes and resistance of antibiotics.
