Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia cenocepacia is a virulent species belonging to the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) and one of the most problematic agents of chronic lung infection in cystic fibrosis patients. B. cenocepacia possesses a large panel of virulence traits that include trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs). Such proteins are obligate homotrimeric anchored in the outer membrane. They are players in the adhesion...
