Expression of the Edwardsiella ictaluri Type III Secretion System and Its Relationship to the Native Plasmids

Edwardsiella ictaluri encodes a type III secretion system (T3SS) required for intracellular replication. Analysis of in vitro gene expression indicates the T3SS translocon proteins express and secrete in acidic pH. Expression of other T3SS genes, however, requires that phosphate be limited in the cu...
