Dual RNA-seq reveals a type 6 secretion system-dependent blockage of TNF-α signaling and BicA as a Burkholderia pseudomallei virulence factor important during gastrointestinal infection [PDF]
Gut Microbes, 2022 Melioidosis is a disease caused by the Gram-negative bacillus Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bpm), commonly found in soil and water of endemic areas. Naturally acquired human melioidosis infections can result from either exposure through percutaneous ...
