The Chlamydial Type III Secretion Mechanism: Revealing Cracks in a Tough Nut

Helen Jennifer Betts-Hampikian, Kenneth Fields
Published 2010 in Front. Microbio.

Abstract

Present-day members of the Chlamydiaceae contain parasitic bacteria that have been co-evolving with their eukaryotic hosts over hundreds of millions of years. Likewise, a type III secretion system encoded within all genomes has been refined to complement the unique obligate intracellular niche colonized so successfully by Chlamydia spp. All this adaptation… (More)
