Abstract excerpt
DsbA is a periplasmic thiol:disulfide oxidoreductase which contributes to the process of protein folding by catalyzing the formation of disulfide bonds. In this study, we demonstrate that the dsbA gene is required for the expression of the type III secretion system under low-calcium inducing conditions, intracellular survival of P. aeruginosa upon infection of HeLa cells, and twitching motility. The diverse...
