Contribution of the Type 6 Secretion System to Apoptosis and Macrophage Polarization During Burkholderia pseudomallei Infection

J. L. Stockton, N. Khakhum, A. G. Torres

This study shows the Type 6 Secretion System (T6SS) in Burkholderia pseudomallei increases apoptosis and inflammatory nodule severity during infection, while not affecting macrophage polarization.

Burkholderia pseudomallei BicA protein promotes pathogenicity in macrophages by regulating Invasion, Intracellular Survival, and Virulence.

J. L. Stockton, N. Khakhum, H. L. Stevenson, A. G. Torres

This study identifies BicA as a regulator of virulence in Burkholderia pseudomallei by affecting intracellular survival, dissemination, and secretion system expression in macrophages.

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

J. I. Sanchez-Villamil, D. Tapia, N. Khakhum, S. G. Widen, A. G. Torres

This study identifies the type 6 secretion system (T6SS) and the BicA gene as critical for Burkholderia pseudomallei virulence during gastrointestinal infection using dual RNA-seq and mutant analysis.
