Among the intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli, enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) are a group
of intracellular pathogens able to enter epithelial cells of colon, multiplicate within them, and …

Bacterial pathogens are able to survive within diverse habitats. The dynamic adaptation to
the surroundings depends on their ability to sense environmental variations and to respond …

Abstract The tripartite complex AcrAB-TolC is the major RND pump in Escherichia coli and
other Enterobacteriaceae. It consists of the AcrB transporter, which is embedded in the inner …

Two-component signal transduction systems (TCSs) are widespread types of protein
machinery, typically consisting of a histidine kinase membrane sensor and a cytoplasmic …

Efflux pumps are membrane protein complexes conserved in all living organisms. Beyond
being involved in antibiotic extrusion in several bacteria, efflux pumps are emerging as …

The pathogenicity of Shigella, the intracellular pathogen responsible for human bacillary
dysentery, depends on a coordinated and tightly regulated expression of its virulence …

Shigella, the aetiological agent of human bacillary dysentery, controls the expression of its
virulence determinants through an environmentally stimulated cascade of transcriptional …

The tripartite complex AcrAB-TolC is the major RND pump in Escherichia coli and other
Enterobacteriaceae, including Shigella, the etiological agent of bacillary dysentery. In …

Efflux pumps (EPs) are present in all living cells and represent a large and important group
of transmembrane proteins involved in transport processes. In bacteria, multidrug resistance …

Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanostructures mostly produced by blebbing of the
outer membrane in Gram negative bacteria. They contain biologically active proteins and …
