Overall, comparison of the global transcriptome in response to CSP shows the conservation of the ComE and SigX-core regulons in competent S. mitis isolates, as well as species and strain-specific genes. Although some S. mitis exhibit truncations in key competence genes, this study shows that in transformable strains, competence seems to depend on the same core genes previously identified in S. pneumoniae.
