title: Bacterial pathogenesis: the answer to virulence is in the pore.
abstract: A wide variety of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens use a 'type III' protein secretion system to deliver bacterial virulence factors into host cells. Recent results suggest that Gram-positive pathogens may employ similar methods to deliver virulence factors into host cells.
