This mechanism plays a significant role in the spread of antibiotic resistance and virulence factors among bacterial populations. Central to this process is the type IV secretion system (T4SS), a ...

It is really vital that we have molecular kill switches so that if someone is shedding bacteria, they do not get into the sewage system and grow. It is good to have people bringing different ...

Previous work had shown that this species' immune-modulating activity was dependent on a bacterial secretion system—a protein complex that can move substances out of bacterial cells and into the ...

coli are well-known bacteria that cause food poisoning ... rustigianii also possesses a virulence factor called the type III secretion system, which bears the highest degree of similarity to ...

We hope to use this new method to elucidate the evolutionary constraints on proteins that use the type III secretion system of gram negative bacteria. My newest project aims to measure the unfolding ...
