title: DsbA: a protein-folding catalyst contributing to bacterial virulence.
abstract: DsbA, a periplasmic thiol:disulphide oxidoreductase, catalyses the folding of various factors, among which are virulence determinants or the components of type III secretory machinery. It is also necessary for intracellular survival and cell-to-cell spread of the intracellular pathogen Shigella flexneri.
