Abstract:
:It has been appreciated for almost 20 years that members of the Chlamydiales possess a virulence-associated type III secretion mechanism. Given the obligate intracellular nature of these bacteria, defining exactly how type III secretion functions to promote pathogenesis has been challenging. We present a working model herein that is based on current evidence.
