chronic infections in humans, and it has become an important cause of nosocomial …

The type II secretion system (T2SS) is a multi‐protein complex used by many bacteria to
move substrates across their cell membrane. Substrates released into the environment …

Type IVa pili are protein filaments essential for virulence in many bacterial pathogens; they
extend and retract from the surface of bacterial cells to pull the bacteria forward. The motor …

The type II secretion system (T2SS) delivers toxins and a range of hydrolytic enzymes,
