Clinical impact of the type VI secretion system on virulence of Campylobacter species during infection

Abstract Background The clinical course of Campylobacter infection varies in symptoms and severity depending on host factors, virulence of the pathogen and initiated therapy. The type VI secretion system (T6SS) has been identified as a novel virulence factor, which mediates contact-dependent injecti...
