Nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted considerable attention in various fields, such as
cosmetics, the food industry, material design, and nanomedicine. In particular, the fast …

Plague is a widespread zoonotic disease that is caused by Yersinia pestis and has had
devastating effects on the human population throughout history. Disappearance of the …

Various gram-negative animal and plant pathogens use a novel, sec-independent protein
secretion system as a basic virulence mechanism. It is becoming increasingly clear that …

The 70-kb virulence plasmid enables Yersinia spp.(Yersinia pestis, Y. pseudotuberculosis,
and Y. enterocolitica) to survive and multiply in the lymphoid tissues of their host. It encodes …

Pathogenic bacteria of the species Yersinia, including Yersinia pestis, block phagocytosis by
macrophages. This process involves the YopE protein, which induces disruption of the host …

Abstract Pathogenic Yersinia spp (Yersinia pestis, Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, and
Yersinia enterocolitica) have evolved an exquisite method for delivering powerful effectors …

Abstract'Type III secretion'—the mechanism by which some pathogenic bacteria inject
proteins straight into the cytosol of eukaryotic cells to'anaesthetize'or'enslave'them—was …

The Yop virulon enables Yersinia spp.(Y. pestis, Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y.
enterocolitica) to survive and multiply in the lymphoid tissues of their host. It is an integrated …

Pathogenic Yersinia, including Y. pestis, the agent of plague in humans, and Y.
pseudotuberculosis, the related enteric pathogen, deliver virulence effectors into host cells …

Inflammasome assembly activates caspase-1 and initiates the inflammatory cell death
program pyroptosis, which is protective against numerous pathogens. Consequently …
