Cortactin: A universal host cytoskeletal target of Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacterial pathogens

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 6, Page 623-636, December 2022., 2022
In host‐pathogen interactions, actin‐cytoskeletal dynamics play a crucial role in successful adherence, invasion, and intracellular motility by many intruding microbes. To achieve this goal, bacterial pathogens target major host regulators, one of which is the key actin‐binding protein and class‐II actin nucleation‐promoting factor cortactin.
