Tagging of the type three secretion system basal apparatus of Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli 0157:H7

Like many Gram negative bacterial pathogens Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 possesses a type III secretion system (T3SS). The T3SS translocates effector proteins into host cells during infection and consists of a basal apparatus that spans the inner and outer membranes and a needle and filament complex. The basal apparatus is composed of -20 proteins that are highly conserved between bacterial species, but despite this homology little is known about the EHEC basal apparatus.
