Various gram-negative animal and plant pathogens use a novel, sec-independent protein
secretion system as a basic virulence mechanism. It is becoming increasingly clear that …

Diverse gram-negative bacteria deliver effector proteins into the cells of their eukaryotic
hosts using the type III secretion system. Collectively, these type III effector proteins function …

RESULTS The root infection process and vascular colonization by the pathogenic strain.
The interactions between tomato roots and the pathogenic strain GMI1485 have been …

We used plants as an in vivo pathogenesis model for the identification of virulence factors of
the human opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Nine of nine Tn phoA mutant …

The type III protein secretion system (TTSS) is a complex organelle in the envelope of many
Gram-negative bacteria; it delivers potentially hundreds of structurally diverse bacterial …

The cosmid clone. pIJ3020 containing DNA from the plant pathogenic bacterium
Xanthomonas campestris pathovar campestris has previously been shown to complement a …

Pathogenicity of most Gram‐negative bacterial plant pathogens depends on hrp
(hypersensitive response and pathogenicity) genes, which control the ability to cause …

In many plant and animal bacterial pathogens, the Type III secretion system (TTSS) that
directly translocates effector proteins into the eukaryotic host cells is essential for the …

Bacterial wilt, one of the most devastating bacterial diseases of plants worldwide, is caused
by Ralstonia solanacearum and affects many important crop species. We show that several …

In the early 1960s, Pseudomonas syringae and other host-specific phytopathogenic
proteobacteria were discovered to elicit a rapid, resistance-associated death when infiltrated …
