Scientists have discovered that Yersinia enterocolitica can regulate its type III secretion system in response to cell ...

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 ...

With antibiotic-resistant bacteria on the rise, scientists have been searching for ways to shut down the Type IV secretion system (T4SS), a protein complex on the outer envelope of bacterial cells ...

Now Niederweis and colleagues at the University of Alabama at Birmingham describe the mechanism of secretion and trafficking of that toxin, TNT, which is the major cytotoxicity factor for the pathogen ...

Mucus is more than just a sticky substance: It contains a wealth of powerful molecules called mucins that help to tame ...

Mucus contains a wealth of powerful molecules called mucins that help to tame microbes and prevent infection. In a new study, ...

The microbiome is home to an estimated 100 trillion bacteria, existing as a dense colony of many different strains and species. Similar to all organisms, bacteria must also compete with one another ...
