In a recent issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Elsen and colleagues identify a novel hemolysin in a highly virulent Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain that lacks a type III secretion system. Their analysis provides another example of how individual strains of P. aeruginosa utilize different virulence mechanisms to cause severe infections.
在最近一期的《细胞宿主与微生物》杂志上,埃尔森及其同事在一株缺乏III型分泌系统的高毒力铜绿假单胞菌中鉴定出一种新型溶血素。他们的分析为铜绿假单胞菌的各个菌株如何利用不同的毒力机制导致严重感染提供了又一个例子。
