Novel Burkholderia mallei Virulence Factors Linked to Specific Host-Pathogen Protein Interactions
25 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia mallei is an infectious intracellular pathogen whose virulence and resistance to antibiotics makes it a potential bioterrorism agent. Given its genetic origin as a commensal soil organism, it is equipped with an extensive and varied set of adapted mechanisms to cope with and modulate host-cell environments. One essential virulence mechanism constitutes the specialized secretion systems that are...
