Yersinia enterocolitica type

Anderson, D., and Schneewind, O. (1997). A mRNA signal for the type III secretion of yop proteins by Yersinia enterocolitica. Science 278, 1140-1143. 

Interestingly, similarities have been found between some proteins involved in the flagellar export apparatus and type III secretion proteins involved in the export of virulence factors [243, 460, 462]. Also, the supramolecular structure of the type III secretion machinery somewhat resembles the structure of the flagellar basal body [389]. Recently it has been demonstrated experimentally that, in the pathogenic bacterium Yersinia enterocolitica, the flagellar export apparatus has the ability to function also as a secretion system for the transport of several extracellular proteins not related to motility [807]. 

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio parahaemo-lyticus, more is required. Investigations on enteropathogenic types of . coli and Yersinia enterocolitica have barely started. With regard to Shigella and Campylobacter, a real start has yet to be made.
