Edwardsiella piscicida Type III Secretion System Effector EseK Inhibits Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Phosphorylation and Promotes Bacterial Colonization in Zebrafish Larvae.

abstract：:The gene encoding the Treponema denticola factor H-like protein 1 (FHL-1) binding protein, FhbB, was recovered and characterized. Sequence conservation, expression, and properties of FhbB were analyzed. The identification of FhbB represents an important step in understanding the contribution of FHL-1 binding in T. den...
