Molecular characteristics of the CupB chaperone-usher pathway and the Tps4 two-partner secretion system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

2014-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a threat for immunocompromised individuals, a major cause of nosocomial infections, and is prevalent in patients with cystic fibrosis. The bacterium can form biofilms that help it evade the immune response. It adheres to host cells using molecular adhesins, such as pili assembled by chaperone-usher pathways (Cup). Understanding the adhesion could, therefor...
