Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) are protein transport nanomachines that are found in
Gram-negative bacterial pathogens and symbionts. Resembling molecular syringes, T3SSs …

Two of the most fascinating bacterial nanomachines—the broadly disseminated rotary
flagellum at the heart of cellular motility and the eukaryotic cell–puncturing injectisome …

The extent to which microorganisms impair wound healing is an ongoing controversy in the
management of chronic wounds. Because the high diversity and extreme variability of the …

Survival within macrophages is a central feature of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
pathogenesis. Despite significant advances in identifying new immunological parameters …

Pathogenicity of most Gram-negative plant-pathogenic bacteria depends on the type III
secretion (T3S) system, which translocates bacterial effector proteins into plant cells. Type III …

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 …

Salmonella enterica serovars cause severe disease in humans, such as gastroenteritis and
typhoid fever. The bacteria are able to invade and replicate within host cells, including …

The flagellum and the injectisome are two of the most complex and fascinating bacterial
nanomachines. At their core, they share a type III secretion system (T3SS), a transmembrane …

The model of biofilm infection was first proposed over a decade ago. Recent scientific
advances have added much to our understanding of biofilms, usually polymicrobial …

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