Deletion of ESX-3 and ESX-4 secretion systems in Mycobacterium abscessus results in highly impaired pathogenicity
3 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
Type VII secretion systems participate in protein export, virulence, conjugation, and metabolic regulation. Five subtypes (ESX-1 to ESX-5) exist, each with specific roles and well-characterized secretion profiles in various mycobacterial species. Mycobacterium abscessus, encodes only ESX-3 and ESX-4. Here, single and double M. abscessus mutants lacking the main ATPases EccC3 and EccC4 were used to define ESX-3...
