Essential Role of the Type III Secretion System Effector NleB in Colonization of Mice by <i>Citrobacter rodentium</i>
21 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
Attaching and effacing (A/E) pathogens are a significant cause of gastrointestinal illness in humans and animals. All A/E pathogens carry a large pathogenicity island, termed the locus for enterocyte effacement (LEE), which encodes a type III secretion system that translocates several effector proteins into host cells. To identify novel virulence determinants in A/E pathogens, we performed a signature-tagged...
