Delivering the payload. Bacterial pathogenesis
Abstract
A specialized protein secretion pathway is used by some Gram-negative bacterial pathogens for delivery of virulence factors directly into mammalian host cells. This pathway is parallel to, and probably evolved from, a system used for construction of the bacterial flagellum.
