Burkholderia pseudomallei BimC Is Required for Actin-Based Motility, Intracellular Survival, and Virulence
22 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
The intracellular pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei, the etiological agent of melioidosis in humans and various animals, is capable of survival and movement within the cytoplasm of host cells by a process known as actin-based motility. The bacterial factor BimA is required for actin-based motility through its direct interaction with actin and by mediating actin polymerization at a single pole of the bacterium to...
