Type IV Secretion in Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive Bacteria

Type IV Secretion in Gram-Negative and Gram-Positive Bacteria edited by Steffen Backert, Elisabeth Grohmann.

Type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are highly versatile membrane-associated transporter machines used by Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria to deliver substrate molecules to a large variety of target cells. This volume summarizes our current knowledge of the large variety and structural diversi...
