Antibacterial effectors of the type VI secretion system
Russell, Alistair BrianWith the advent of high-throughput culture-independent sequencing it has become increasingly apparent that bacteria often live in complex communities, both in the environment and in association with the human body. Moreover, ... -
Characterizing the advantages of diverse effector secretion in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
LaCourse, Kaitlyn DenneIn the environment, bacteria exist in complex communities with other bacterial species, where they compete for resources. Cells are frequently in close proximity to one another, and therefore, many bacteria have evolved ... -
Discovery and characterization of mechanisms that promote the intracellular growth of the pathogen Francisella tularensis
Ledvina, Hannah ElizabethThe survival of pathogenic intracellular bacteria relies on their ability to establish and maintain a permissive niche. For Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, this involves both escaping the degradative ... -
Posttranslational regulation and effector specificity of the type VI secretion system
Silverman, Julie Michelle (2013-11-14)Bacteria mediate interactions with their surroundings by exporting a variety of proteins into the extracellular environment. Gram-negative bacteria have evolved at least six dedicated secretory pathways to accomplish this ...
