Preferred Label : bacterial secretion systems;
MeSH definition : In GRAM NEGATIVE BACTERIA, multiprotein complexes that function to translocate pathogen
protein effector molecules across the bacterial cell envelope, often directly into
the host. These effectors are involved in producing surface structures for adhesion,
bacterial motility, manipulation of host functions, modulation of host defense responses,
and other functions involved in facilitating survival of the pathogen. Several of
the systems have homologous components functioning similarly in GRAM POSITIVE BACTERIA.;
MeSH synonym : bacterial secretion system; secretion system, bacterial; secretion systems, bacterial; system, bacterial secretion; systems, bacterial secretion;
Origin ID : D058947;
UMLS CUI : C2936594;
