Several secretion systems have evolved that are widespread among Gram-negative
bacteria. Recently, a new secretion system was recognized, which is named the type VI …

Two recent reports have indicated that the H-NS protein in Salmonella enterica serovar
Typhimurium has a key role in selectively silencing the transcription of large numbers of …

The type III protein secretion system (TTSS) is a complex organelle in the envelope of many
Gram-negative bacteria; it delivers potentially hundreds of structurally diverse bacterial …

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), the aetiologic agent of typhoid fever, is a
human restricted pathogen. The molecular mechanism of Salmonella pathogenicity is …

Human Edwardsiella tarda infections often manifest as gastroenteritis, but can become
