22 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
The type III secretion system (TTSS) is a specialized cytotoxin-translocating apparatus of gram-negative bacteria which is involved in lung injury, septic shock, and a poor patient outcome. Recent studies have attributed these effects mainly to the ExoU effector protein. However, few studies have focused on the ExoU-independent pathogenicity of the TTSS. For the present study, we compared the pathogenicities of...
