Roles of putative type II secretion and type IV pilus systems in the virulence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli.

Roles of putative type II secretion and type IV pilus systems in the virulence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli.

Type II secretion systems (T2SS) and the evolutionarily related type IV pili (T4P) are important virulence determinants in many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. However, the roles of T2SS and T4P in the virulence of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli have not been determined.To investigat...
