The EXIT Strategy: an Approach for Identifying Bacterial Proteins Exported during Host Infection
ABSTRACT Exported proteins of bacterial pathogens function both in essential physiological processes and in virulence. Past efforts to identify exported proteins were limited by the use of bacteria growing under laboratory (in vitro) conditions. Thus, exported proteins that are exported only or pref...
