Diversity of virulence phenotypes among type III secretion negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa clinical isolates.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a frequent cause of acute infections. The primary virulence factor that has been linked to clinical disease is the type III secretion system, a molecular syringe that delivers effector proteins directly into host cells. Despite the importance of type III secretion in dictat...
