Intracellular bacterial pathogens cause a wide range of diseases and significantly contribute
to the morbidity and mortality associated with infectious diseases worldwide (1‐16)(Table 1) …

Intracellular bacterial pathogens subvert the endocytic bactericidal pathway to form specific
replication-permissive compartments termed pathogen vacuoles or inclusions. To this end …

The mechanisms that mediate the release of intracellular bacteria from cells are poorly
understood, particularly for those that live within a cellular vacuole. The release pathway of …

The type III secretion system (TTSS) is a key mechanism for host cell interaction used by a
variety of bacterial pathogens and symbionts of plants and animals including humans. The …

Sequence analysis of the genome of the strict intracellular pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis
revealed the presence of a SET domain containing protein, proteins that primarily function …

The type III secretion system is an essential component for virulence in many Gram-negative
bacteria. Though components of the secretion system apparatus are conserved, its …

The obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis inserts a family of inclusion
membrane (Inc) proteins into the membrane of its vacuole (the inclusion). The Inc CpoS is a …

The intracellular pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis possesses a type III secretion (TTS)
system believed to deliver a series of effector proteins into the inclusion membrane (Inc …

Type III secretion (T3S) is a mechanism that is central to the biology of the Chlamydiaceae
and many other pathogens whose virulence depends on the translocation of toxic effector …

Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular pathogen that replicates in a vacuole
termed the inclusion. Many of the interactions of chlamydiae with the host cell are dependent …
