Summary Introduction

To review :

The derivation of protein secretion system from a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)-pumping system.

Introduction:

Bacterial secretion system refers to the secretion system of bacteria that gives the pathogenic bacteria a peculiar mechanism of virulence. It helps them to bypass the external cellular environment and inject their bacterial effector proteins directly into the host cell. The secretory systems are categorized on the basis of specific structure, activity, and composition.
