Characterization of an autotransporter adhesin protein shared by Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Autotransporters form a large family of outer membrane proteins specifying diverse biological traits of Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, we report the identification and characterization of a novel autotransporter gene product of Burkholderia mallei (locus tag BMA1027 in strain ATCC 23344). RESULTS: Database searches identified the gene in at least seven B. mallei isolates and the encoded...
