| Description | Salmonella, and related proteobacteria, secrete large amounts of proteins into the culture media. The major secreted proteins are either flagellar proteins or virulence factors [ ], secreted through the flagellar or virulence export structures respectively. Both secretion systems penetrate the inner and outer membranes and their components bear substantial sequence similarity. Both the flagellar and needle like pilus look fairly similar to each other [ ].The type III secretion system is of great interest, as it is used to transport virulence factors from the pathogen directly into the host cell [ ] and is only triggered when the bacterium comes into close contact with the host. | Name | Type III secretion system substrate exporter |
| Short Name | T3SS_substrate_exporter | Type | Family |
