title: Inhibition of induction of competence in Pneumococcus by isologous teichoic acid.
abstract: Pneumococcal teichoic acid inhibits induction of competence in incompetent cells of Pneumococcus. The inhibitory effect is very similar to that observed in the presence of d-glucosamine and d-galactosamine.
