The Erwinia chrysanthemi EC16 hrp/hrc Gene Cluster Encodes an Active Hrp Type III Secretion System That Is Flanked by Virulence Genes Functionally Unrelated to the Hrp System

Erwinia chrysanthemi is a host-promiscuous plant pathogen that possesses a type III secretion system (TTSS) similar to that of the host-specific pathogens E. amylovora and Pseudomonas syringae. The regions flanking the TTSS-encoding hrp/hrc gene clusters in the latter pathogens encode various TTSS-s...
