Suppression of type III effector secretion by polymers

Bacteria secrete effector proteins required for successful infection and expression of toxicity into host cells. The type III secretion apparatus is involved in these processes. Previously, we showed that the viscous polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG) 8000 suppressed effector secretion by Pseudomonas...
