Funded Activity Summary

Disease causing bacteria assemble secretion systems to assist with colonisation, persistence and destruction of host tissue. These systems have been categorised as Type I to Type VI. A comprehensive understanding of these secretion systems, is of paramount importance for a complete understanding of bacterial pathogenesis. We will investigate the role of a novel Type V secretion system conserved amongst many human pathogens.
