One of the most exciting developments in the field of bacterial pathogenesis in recent years
is the discovery that many pathogens utilize complex nanomachines to deliver bacterially …

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 …

The type III secretion injectisome is a complex nanomachine that allows bacteria to deliver
protein effectors across eukaryotic cellular membranes. In recent years, significant progress …

Bacteria that have sustained long-standing close associations with eukaryotic hosts have
evolved specific adaptations to survive and replicate in this environment. Perhaps one of the …

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

The human pathogens enteropathogenic and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EPEC
and EHEC) share a unique mechanism of colonization that results from the concerted action …

Many gram-negative plant and animal pathogenic bacteria employ a type III secretion
system (T3SS) to subvert and colonize their respective host organisms. The T3SS injects …

Escherichia coli is the most abundant facultative anaerobic gram-negative bacterium of the
intestinal microffora, naturally colonizing the mucous layer of the colon. A conserved core …

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen that
adheres to intestinal epithelial cells, causing diarrhoea. It constitutes a significant risk to …

The type III secretion system (TTSS) of gram-negative bacteria is responsible for delivering
bacterial proteins, termed effectors, from the bacterial cytosol directly into the interior of host …
