Actin polymerisation is one way pathogens spread from one infected cell into the next. B. pseudomallei has been found to use a protein called BimA, which accumulates at one end of the cell, diverting actin into a long polymeric chain. This chain protrudes from the infected host cell and initiates contact with a new uninfected host cell. #BS2010 #BS1009 (correct me if this isn't the 1st year microbiology code anymore)

That's right. Is this related to your project?

Yes, I'm investigating 'Virulence factors of B. pseudomallei' with Dr Galyov and Dr Lazar Adler.
