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 ...

Type 3 secretion systems (T3SSs) are used by several pathogenic bacterial species to deliver effector proteins, responsible for the effects of infection, into the target host cells. An MGH research ...

UMass Amherst biochemists are mapping the molecular structure of a needle-like tool used by bacteria to invade human and mammalian cells to cause such diseases as plague and dysentery. Of particular ...
