Abstract excerpt
Genes required for entry of Shigella flexneri into epithelial cells in vitro are clustered in two adjacent loci, one of which encodes secretory proteins, the IpaA-D proteins, and the other their dedicated secretion apparatus, the Mxi-Spa translocon. Ipa secretion, which is induced upon contact of bacteria with epithelial cells, is prevented during growth in vitro. Here, we show that ipaB and ipaD mutations lead...
