The pathogenesis of Legionella pneumophila is derived from its growth within lung
macrophages after aerosols are inhaled from contaminated water sources. Interest in this …

Escherichia coli (E. coli) remains the most efficient widely-used host for recombinant protein
production. Well-known genetics, high transformation efficiency, cultivation simplicity …

A Yersinia effector known as YopT and a Pseudomonas avirulence protein known as
AvrPphB define a family of 19 proteins involved in bacterial pathogenesis. We show that …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa delivers the toxin ExoU to eukaryotic cells via a type III secretion
system. Intoxication with ExoU is associated with lung injury, bacterial dissemination and …

The AvrPtoB type III effector protein is conserved among diverse genera of plant pathogens
suggesting it plays an important role in pathogenesis. Here we report that Pseudomonas …

Many bacterial pathogens use the type III secretion system to inject" effector" proteins into
host cells. Here, we report the identification of a 24 member effector protein family found in …

Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, evades phago-
lysosome fusion in mammalian and protozoan hosts to create a suitable niche for …

Legionella pneumophila invades and replicates intracellularly in human and protozoan
hosts. The bacteria use the Icm/Dot type IVB secretion system to translocate effectors that …

This review analyses the phenomenon of bacterial mycophagy, which we define as a set of
phenotypic behaviours that enable bacteria to obtain nutrients from living fungi and thus …

The bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila replicates in a specialized vacuole within
host cells. Establishment of the replication vacuole depends on the Dot/Icm translocation …
