Functional Analysis of Burkholderia Secretory Virulence Factors

Abstract

Proteins of B. pseudomallei and B. cepacia involved in virulence and survival were demonstrated using proteomic analysis of stationary phase bacterial culture supernatants. Host response to live B. pseudomallei and B. cepacia and their secretory proteins have provided further insights into bacterial virulence.
