Riemerella anatipestifer GldM is required for bacterial gliding motility, protein secretion, and virulence

Abstract excerpt

Riemerella anatipestifer is a major pathogenic agent of duck septicemic and exudative diseases. Genetic analyses suggest that this pathogen has a novel protein secretion system, known as the "type IX secretion system" (T9SS). We previously reported that deletion of the AS87_RS08465 gene significantly reduced the bacterial virulence of the R. anatipestifer strain Yb2, but the mechanism remained unclear. The...
