Type IV pili-associated secretion of a biofilm matrix protein from <i>Clostridium perfringens</i> that forms intermolecular isopeptide bonds
2024-11-04
Abstract excerpt
Clostridium perfringens is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming, bacterial pathogen of humans and animals. C. perfringens also produces type IV pili (T4P) and has two complete sets of T4P-associated genes, one of which has been shown to produce surface pili needed for cell adherence. One hypothesis about the second set of T4P genes is that they comprise a system analogous to the type II secretion systems (TT...
