Bacterial secretion systems play pivotal roles in microbial physiology, pathogenesis, and intercellular communication. This research topic will provide an in-depth exploration of the diverse mechanisms employed by bacteria for the secretion of proteins, effectors, and other molecular cargo. Through a comprehensive examination of bacterial secretion systems, this research topic will elucidate the intricate molecular processes underlying these vital cellular functions.
The focus of the topic encompasses various types of secretion systems, including Type I to Type VI, each characterized by distinct structures and functionalities. Detailed analyses of secretion mechanisms can help to shed light on how bacteria manipulate their environment, interact with host organisms, and establish symbiotic or pathogenic relationships. Additionally, the topic will hope to delve into the regulatory networks governing these secretion systems, offering insights into the dynamic and adaptive nature of bacterial responses to environmental cues.
Experimental methodologies, such as genetic manipulation, advanced imaging, and biochemical assays, are some of the key areas that this topic will focus on to unravel the intricacies of bacterial secretion. The findings from this research topic will contribute to our understanding of microbial physiology and pathogenesis, providing a foundation for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies and antimicrobial interventions. The knowledge generated from this comprehensive examination of bacterial secretion systems will enhance our ability to comprehend the complex interplay between bacteria and their surroundings, with potential implications for diverse fields including medicine, biotechnology, and environmental science.
This research topic aims to collect a wide range of articles on the areas above. We will accept all article types permissible in the Frontiers in Bacteriology submission guidelines.
Keywords:
Microbial secretome, Intracellular trafficking, Molecular transport, Pathogenicity mechanisms, Translocation systems
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
