Enteric pathogens such as Salmonella enterica cause significant morbidity and mortality. S.
enterica serovars are a diverse group of pathogens that have evolved to survive in a wide …

Salmonella enterica serovars cause severe disease in humans, such as gastroenteritis and
typhoid fever. The bacteria are able to invade and replicate within host cells, including …

This book describes the major achievements and discoveries relevant to bacterial protein
toxins since the turn of the new century illustrated by the discovery of more than fifty novel …

Host-adapted strains of Salmonella enterica cause systemic infections and have the ability
to persist systemically for long periods of time and pose significant public-health problems …

The role of bacteriophages as natural vectors for some of the most potent bacterial toxins is
well recognized and includes classical type I membrane-acting superantigens, type II pore …

Salmonella enterica serovars cause severe diseases in humans, such as gastroenteritis and
typhoid fever. The development of systemic disease is dependent on a type III secretion …

Within host cells such as macrophages, Salmonella enterica translocates virulence (effector)
proteins across its vacuolar membrane via the SPI-2 type III secretion system. Previously, it …

Thanks to the exponentially increasing number of publicly available bacterial genome
sequences, one can now estimate the important contribution of integrated viral sequences to …

Type III secretion systems are molecular machines used by many Gram‐negative bacterial
pathogens to inject proteins, known as effectors, directly into eukaryotic host cells. These …

Salmonella injects over 40 virulence factors, termed effectors, into host cells to subvert
diverse host cellular processes. Of these 40 Salmonella effectors, at least 25 have been …
