Inhibition of the competence regulon in Streptococcus pneumoniae , either by signal‐based peptide inhibitors “dnCSPs” or through small moleculebased “COM blockers”, attenuates pneumococcus virulence. Muralikrishna Lella and Yftah Tal‐Gan review the latest progress on these compounds and how they can be applied to treat pneumococcal infections. (doi: 10.1002/pep2.24222 )
