Organelles as virulence factors of an opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Type IV pili (T4P) and flagellum are well known virulence factors of an opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. T4P pili provide twitching motility, adherence to biotic/abiotic surfaces, intercellular association that is essential to biophilm formation, and are implicated in chemotaxis, bacteriophage adsorption and DNA uptake. Flagellum provides swimming/swarming motilities and chemotaxi...
متن کاملMolecular and Cellular Probes
Real-time PCR was used to analyze archived blood from non-human primates (NHP) and fluid samples originating from a well-controlled Q fever vaccine efficacy trial. The PCR targets were the IS1111 element and the com1 gene of Coxiella burnetii. Data from that previous study were used to evaluate real-time PCR as an alternative to the use of sero-conversion by mouse bioassay for both quantificati...
متن کاملPlant immune receptors mimic pathogen virulence targets
All multicellular eukaryotes are susceptible to pathogens. Animal hosts have developed cell-autonomous innate immunity, and chordates have additionally evolved an adaptive immune system to defend against pathogen invasion. In contrast, plant immunity is entirely innate, and relies on the ability of individual cells to activate defense upon pathogen detection by either cell surface or cytoplasmi...
متن کاملBasic insight in plant-pathogen interaction
The molecular mechanisms involved in the perception, signaling and response in plant-pathogen interactions are major elements in the study of true resistance or susceptibility. As yet, there is no clear idea on what is really happening during certain molecular events. Nevertheless, this new insight offers us the possible answers to many questions on this topic. In this review, we deal with the ...
متن کاملTowards understanding the virulence functions of RXLR effectors of the oomycete plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans.
Plant pathogens establish infection by secretion of effector proteins that may be delivered inside host cells to manipulate innate immunity. It is increasingly apparent that the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) contributes significantly to the regulation of plant defences and, as such, is a target for pathogen effectors. Bacterial effectors delivered by the type III and IV secretion systems ha...
