Abstract excerpt
Shigella, the etiological agent of human bacillary dysentery, invades the colonic epithelium where it induces an intense inflammatory response. Entry of Shigella into epithelial cells involves a type III secretion machinery, encoded by the mxi and spa operons, and the IpaA-D secreted proteins. In this study, we have identified secreted proteins of 46 and 60 kDa as the products of virA and ipaH9.8, respectively,...
