Identification of a regulatory cascade controlling Type III Secretion System 3 gene expression in Burkholderia pseudomallei

Abstract excerpt

A major and critical virulence determinant of many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens is the Type III Secretion Systems (T3SS). T3SS3 in Burkholderia pseudomallei is critical for bacterial virulence in mammalian infection models but its regulation is unknown. B. pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, a potentially fatal disease endemic in Southeast Asia and northern Australia. While screening for...
