Salmonella species can infect a diverse range of birds, reptiles, and mammals, including
humans. The type III protein secretion system (T3SS) encoded by Salmonella pathogenicity …

One of the most exciting developments in the field of bacterial pathogenesis in recent years
is the discovery that many pathogens utilize complex nanomachines to deliver bacterially …

Virulence-associated type III secretion systems (T3SS) serve the injection of bacterial
effector proteins into eukaryotic host cells. They are able to secrete a great diversity of …

Flagellar and translocation-associated type III secretion (T3S) systems are present in most
Gram-negative plant-and animal-pathogenic bacteria and are often essential for bacterial …

Many bacteria that cause diseases of humans, animals and plants use flagella to move. This
review summarises recent studies that have analysed the role of motility and chemotaxis in …

Bacteria that have sustained long-standing close associations with eukaryotic hosts have
evolved specific adaptations to survive and replicate in this environment. Perhaps one of the …

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and enterohemorrhagic E. coli are diarrheagenic
bacterial human pathogens that cause severe gastroenteritis. These enteric pathotypes …

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a facultative intracellular
pathogen that causes disease in a variety of hosts. S. Typhimurium actively invade host cells …

Type 3 secretion systems (T3SSs) are essential components of two complex bacterial
machineries: the flagellum, which drives cell motility, and the non-flagellar T3SS (NF-T3SS) …

▪ Abstract The bacterial pathogen Salmonella enterica has evolved a very sophisticated
functional interface with its vertebrate hosts. At the center of this interface is a specialized …
