Vibrio VopQ induces PI3‐kinase‐independent autophagy and antagonizes phagocytosis

Abstract excerpt

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative bacterium responsible for gastroenteritis acquired from the consumption of contaminated shellfish. This bacterium harbours two type III secretion systems, one on each chromosome. The type III secretion system on chromosome I induces cell death by a temporally controlled sequence of events that is caspase-independent and first involves induction of autophagy, followed by...
