This study shows that intracellular pathogens like Burkholderia thailandensis and Shigella flexneri can enter host nuclei via actin tail motility, forming a protective niche in mitotically active cells.

This study shows Burkholderia thailandensis switches from T6SS-1 to T6SS-5 during phagosomal maturation, controlled by the VirAG two-component system.
