The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a sophisticated molecular apparatus that many Gram‐negative bacterial pathogens deploy to inject effector proteins directly into host cells. This machinery ...

Varieties of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens infect their eukaryotic hosts by deploying the type III translocon to deliver effector proteins into the cytosol of eukaryotic cells in which effectors ...

A recent study has discovered and characterized secreted proteins from the pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum. These proteins, called effectors, offer clues into the manipulation tactics ...

Edwardsiella pathogens, notably Edwardsiella piscicida and historically mischaracterised Edwardsiella tarda, represent a critical challenge to aquaculture worldwide. These Gram‐negative bacteria are ...

A research team found that plant-derived compounds significantly lowered the abundance of pathogenic bacteria, antibiotic ...

Six years ago, Michael Niederweis, Ph.D., described the first known toxin of the deadly pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), an exotoxin that had gone undetected for 132 years. Now Niederweis ...

Antibiotic-resistant “superbugs” that can defeat efforts to kill them are an urgent public health crisis, and according to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant ...

Sometimes the most niche plant pathogens pack the greatest punch. Such is the case for the Florida citrus industry, which has seen a 70% decline in its orange production since the introduction of ...
