Host-Pathogen Interactions: What the EHEC Are We Learning from Host Genome-Wide Screens?

ABSTRACT Several genome-wide screens have been conducted to identify host cell factors involved in the pathogenesis of bacterial pathogens whose virulence is dependent on type III secretion systems (T3SSs), nanomachines responsible for the translocation of proteins into host cells. In the most recen...
