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 …

Virulence-associated type III secretion systems (T3SS) serve the injection of bacterial
effector proteins into eukaryotic host cells. They are able to secrete a great diversity of …

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 …

Shigella spp. are gram-negative pathogenic bacteria that evolved from harmless
enterobacterial relatives and may cause devastating diarrhea upon ingestion. Research …

Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei are closely related gram-negative
bacteria that can cause serious diseases in humans and animals. This review summarizes …

Bacteria have developed remarkable systems that sense neighboring target cells upon
contact and initiate a series of events that enhance their survival and growth at the expense …

Many bacteria that live in contact with eukaryotic hosts, whether as symbionts or as
pathogens, have evolved mechanisms that manipulate host cell behaviour to their benefit …

Abstract The Type III Secretion System (T3SS) is a multi-mega Dalton apparatus assembled
from more than twenty components and is found in many species of animal and plant …

The type III secretion machinery of Gram‐negative bacteria, also known as the injectisome
or needle complex, is composed of a basal body spanning both bacterial membranes and …

Type III secretion systems (T3SSs) afford Gram‐negative bacteria an intimate means of
altering the biology of their eukaryotic hosts—the direct delivery of effector proteins from the …
