DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.02117-22
Abstract: Trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs) are important virulence factors and are widely present in various pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. TAA-expressing bacteria cause a wide spectrum of human diseases, such as cat scratch disease (Bartonella henselae), enterocolitis (Yersinia… read more here.
