The Trw type IV secretion system of Bartonella mediates host-specific adhesion to erythrocytes.

The Trw type IV secretion system of Bartonella mediates host-specific adhesion to erythrocytes.

Bacterial pathogens typically infect only a limited range of hosts; however, the genetic mechanisms governing host-specificity are poorly understood. The alpha-proteobacterial genus Bartonella comprises 21 species that cause host-specific intraerythrocytic bacteremia as hallmark of infection in thei...
