Dissecting the invasion of <i>Galleria mellonella</i> by <i>Yersinia enterocolitica</i> reveals metabolic adaptations and a role of a phage lysis cassette in insect killing
2022-06-27
Abstract excerpt
The human pathogen Yersinia enterocolitica strain W22703 is characterized by its toxicity towards invertebrates that requires the insecticidal toxin complex (Tc) proteins encoded by the pathogenicity island Tc-PAI Ye . Molecular and pathophysiological details of insect larvae infection and killing by this pathogen, however, have not been dissected. Here, we applied oral infection of Galleria mellonella (Greater...
