This mechanism plays a significant role in the spread of antibiotic resistance and virulence factors among bacterial populations. Central to this process is the type IV secretion system (T4SS), a ...

demonstrating how T3SS effectors can manipulate host cell processes to enhance bacterial virulence and facilitate infection[5]. Type III Secretion System (T3SS): A needle-like structure used by ...

Many species of bacteria use a contractile nanomachine known as the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) to deliver a wide range of toxic proteins, known as ‘effectors’, directly into neighbouring cells.

School of Life and Health Sciences, Hainan University, Haikou, China Introduction: Response regulators from diverse two-component systems often function as diguanylate cyclases or phosphodiesterases, ...

The complement system and neutrophils constitute the two main pillars of the host innate immune defense against infection by bacterial pathogens. Here, we identify T-Mac, a novel virulence factor of ...

Here, we present a perspective on the putative role of plant-produced resveratrol oligomers as anti-virulence and plant-immune priming agents for efficient disease management. Resveratrol oligomers ...

coli are well-known bacteria that cause food poisoning ... rustigianii also possesses a virulence factor called the type III secretion system, which bears the highest degree of similarity to ...

This set of MacSyFinder's models are dedicated to the genomic detection of bacterial secretion systems, and of evolutionarily related appendages (including the archaeal pili). This set of models ...

[Editors' note: this paper was reviewed by Review Commons.] The transport of effector proteins across membranes from the producing bacterium into a target cell is at the core of bacterial secretion ...
