The accessory type III secretion system effectors collectively shape intestinal inflammatory infection outcomes by Priyanka Biswas, Julia Sanchez-Garrido, Zuzanna Kozik, Vishwas Mishra, David Ruano-Gallego, Rita Berkachy, Sarah Jordan, Joshua L. C. Wong, Jyoti S. Choudhary, Gad Frankel

“…Deep proteomic analysis specifically targeting CR-attached colonic epithelial cells revealed that, despite lacking 39% of its effector repertoire, infection with CRM12 results in similar changes to global protein expression as seen in mice infected with the wild-type strain, though key regulators of barrier integrity were differentially expressed. Using a host with impaired barrier repair (Il22− /− mice), we confirmed that accessory effectors collectively shape infection outcomes without significantly impacting virulence. …”
