Heterogeneity of the group B streptococcal type VII secretion system and influence on colonization of the female genital tract

2023-01-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Type VIIb secretion systems (T7SSb) in Gram-positive bacteria facilitate physiology, interbacterial competition, and/or virulence via EssC ATPase-driven secretion of small ɑ-helical proteins and toxins. Recently, we characterized T7SSb in group B Streptococcus (GBS), a leading cause of infection in newborns and immunocompromised adults. GBS T7SS comprises four subtypes based on variation in the...
