TRIMERIC AUTOTRANSPORTER ADHESINS IN MEMBERS OF THE BURKHOLDERIA CEPACIA COMPLEX: A MULTIFUNCTIONAL FAMILY OF PROTEINS IMPLICATED IN VIRULENCE

Trimeric autotransporter adhesins in members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex: a multifunctional family of proteins implicated in virulence

Trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAAs) are multimeric surface proteins, involved in various biological traits of pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria including adherence, biofilm formation, invasion, survival within eukaryotic cells, serum resistance and cytotoxicity.TAAs have a modular architecture composed by a conserved membrane-anchored C-termin
