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 …

The flagellum and the injectisome are two of the most complex and fascinating bacterial
nanomachines. At their core, they share a type III secretion system (T3SS), a transmembrane …

The Gram-positive obligate anaerobe Clostridium difficile causes potentially fatal intestinal
diseases. How this organism regulates virulence gene expression is poorly understood. In …

Yersinia enterocolitica is the causative agent of yersiniosis, a zoonotic disease of growing
epidemiological importance with significant consequences for public health. This pathogenic …

Bacterial enteric infections are often associated with diarrhoea or vomiting, which are clinical
presentations commonly referred to as gastroenteritis. However, some enteric pathogens …

This study determined the effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on Pseudomonas putida
KT2440 biofilms at different stages of maturity. Three biofilm stages (1–3, representing early …

Enteric pathogens such as Salmonella and Yersinia evolved numerous strategies to survive
and proliferate in different environmental reservoirs and mammalian hosts. Deciphering …

The gene function of the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) is essential for full virulence of
enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). Strict control of LEE gene expression is …

The invasion of intestinal epithelial cells by the Crohn disease-associated adherent-invasive
Escherichia coli (AIEC) strain LF82 depends on surface appendages, such as type 1 pili and …

Pseudomonas syringae is an important phyllosphere colonist that utilizes flagellum-
mediated motility both as a means to explore leaf surfaces, as well as to invade into leaf …
