Abstract: | A wide variety of plant and human bacterial pathogens use a specialized 'type III' protein secretion system to deliver virulence factors into host cells. Appendage-like surface structures have recently been identified on several bacterial pathogens and there are indications that these may be conduits for virulence factor delivery. |
