研究開始時の研究の概要 |
Type three secretion systems (T3SSs) are sophisticated nanomachinery used by a number of pathogenic microorganisms to exert their pathogenic effect. A genetically related T3SS was revealed on a plasmid carried by P. rustigianii. In this study, we will investigate the presence of T3SS genes in genus Providencia along with their location on the genome. Also, characterization of putative T3SSs effector proteins in Providencia spp. will be performed.
