A type III secretion system (TTSS) is encoded on a virulence plasmid that is common to three
pathogenic Yersinia species: Y. enterocolitica, Y. pseudotuberculosis, and Y. pestis …

DNA microarrays have allowed us to monitor the effects of pathogens on host-cell gene
expression programmes in great depth and on a broad scale. The comparison of results that …

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 …

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

Yersiniosis is a food‐borne illness that has become more prevalent in recent years due to
human transmission via the fecal‐oral route and prevalence in farm animals. Yersiniosis is …

Plague, caused by Yersinia pestis, is recognized as the most devastating acute infectious
disease experienced by humankind. This notoriety is based upon the high rate of mortality …

Pathogenic Yersinia contain a virulence plasmid that encodes genes for intracellular
effectors, which neutralize the host immune response. One effector, YopM, is necessary for …

The pathogenic bacteria Yersinia spp. contain a virulence plasmid that encodes a type III
secretion system and effectors. During infection, four of the effectors target the actin …

Yersinia bacteria can take control of the host cell by injecting so-called Yop effector proteins
into the cytosol of the cells to which they adhere. Using Yersinia enterocolitica strains that …
