Phenotypical and Genomic Characterization of the Mollusk Pathogen Francisella halioticida

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Phenotypic and genetic characterization of French isolates of Francisella halioticida and comparison with Canadian and Japanese strains. The study revealed similarities between FR22s and previous isolates but distinct differences with FR21. A major finding is the absence of the Francisella pathogenicity island in the less virulent isolate, FR22b ...

Brucella modulates secretory trafficking via multiple type IV secretion effector proteins.

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
The intracellular pathogenic bacterium Brucella generates a replicative vacuole (rBCV) derived from the endoplasmic reticulum via subversion of the host cell secretory pathway. rBCV biogenesis requires the expression of the Type IV secretion system (T4SS)

Characterization of transcription factors that regulate the type IV secretion system and riboflavin biosynthesis in Wolbachia of Brugia malayi. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The human filarial parasite Brugia malayi harbors an endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia (wBm) that is required for parasite survival. Consequently, targeting wBm is a promising approach for anti-filarial drug development.

The Rab-binding profiles of bacterial virulence factors during infection [PDF]

, 2016
Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaire's disease, uses its type IV secretion system to translocate over 300 effector proteins into host cells.

Modulation of host cell pathways by Coxiella burnetii Dot/Icm effectors

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 577-596, December 2025.
Abstract Coxiella burnetii, the etiological agent of Q fever, is a significant intracellular bacterial pathogen. C. burnetii is a highly infectious pathogen that primarily targets pulmonary alveolar macrophages during natural infection. It can then disseminate to macrophages in other tissues and organs, leading to chronic infections. C.

Pathogenic Characteristics of Shrimp Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS)‐Causing Vibrio parahaemolyticus: A Comparative Transcriptomic Study Suggests the Relationship Between Metabolic Fitness and Virulence Gene Expression

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
To understand the disease‐causing characteristics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in shrimp EMS, this comparative gene expression study analysed pathogenic (AHPND 5HP and non‐AHPND 2HP) and non‐pathogenic (S02) strains. Pathogenic strains shared similar expression profiles, distinct from the non‐pathogen.

Helicobacter pylori outer membrane protein HopQ identified as a novel T4SS-associated virulence factor.

Cellular microbiology, 2013
Helicobacter pylori is a bacterial pathogen that colonizes the gastric niche of ∼ 50% of the human population worldwide and is known to cause peptic ulceration and gastric cancer. Pathology of infection strongly depends on a cag pathogenicity island (cagPAI)-encoded type IV secretion system (T4SS).
