The RstAB System Impacts Virulence, Motility, Cell Morphology, Penicillin Tolerance and Production of Type II Secretion System-Dependent Factors in the Fish and Human Pathogen Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae.

abstract：:During the pre-erythrocytic asymptomatic phase of malarial infection, sporozoites develop transiently inside less than 100 hepatocytes that subsequently release thousands of merozoites. Killing of these hepatocytes by cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) confers protection to subsequent malarial infection, suggesting that this bo...
