Expression ofPseudomonas aeruginosaToxin ExoS Effectively Induces Apoptosis in Host Cells
21 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen that primarily infects immunocompromised individuals and patients with cystic fibrosis. Invasive strains of P. aeruginosa are known to induce apoptosis at a high frequency in HeLa cells and in many other cell lines, a process that is dependent on the ADP-ribosylation (ADPRT) activity of a type III secreted protein ExoS. In our previous report, it was...
