Chaperone release and unfolding of substrates in type III secretion
It is shown that InvC, an ATPase associated with a Salmonella enterica type III secretion system, has a critical function in substrate recognition and induces chaperone release from and unfolding of the cognate secreted protein in an ATP-dependent manner.
Genetic Analysis of the Salmonella enterica Type III Secretion-Associated ATPase InvC Defines Discrete Functional Domains
A genetic and functional analysis of InvC, the ATPase associated with the Salmonella enterica type III secretion system encoded within its pathogenicity island 1, has identified amino acid residues that are essential for specific activities ofInvC, such as nucleotide hydrolysis and membrane binding.

Investigation of relationships of the presence of NETs and Cit-H3 with the existence of bacteria in tracheal aspirate, SIRS, diagnosis, WBC count, and concentrations of IL-8, TNF-α, cf-DNA, lactate, and HMGB1 found no significant relationships.
A large outbreak of foodborne infection attributed to Providencia alcalifaciens.
This study strongly suggests that a large outbreak of foodborne infection occurred in Fukui, Japan in November 1996 and was caused by P. alcalifaciens, a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae, and provides definitive evidence that the organism is a causative agent of gastroenteritis.
