A refined model of the prototypical Salmonella SPI-1 T3SS basal body reveals the molecular basis for its assembly.

The T3SS injectisome is a syringe-shaped macromolecular assembly found in pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria that allows for the direct delivery of virulence effectors into host cells. It is composed of a "basal body", a lock-nut structure spanning both bacterial membranes, and a "need...
