Contribution of the Type 6 Secretion System to Apoptosis and Macrophage Polarization During <i>Burkholderia pseudomallei</i> Infection

2024-03-03

Abstract excerpt

Burkholderia pseudomallei ( Bpm ) is the causative agent of the disease melioidosis. As a facultative intracellular pathogen, Bpm has a complex lifestyle that culminates in cell-to-cell fusion and multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) formation. The virulence factor responsible for MNGC formation is the type 6 secretion system (T6SS), a contractile nanomachine. MNGC formation is a cell-to-cell spread strategy that...
