These include gene products involved in condensation of the chromosome (hctA [4.48×] and hctB [7.91×] [12]), in periplasmic remodeling via protease activity (tsp [40]), in outer membrane crosslinking (dsbB [5.41×], dsbA [4.14×], omcA [17.63×], and omcB [8.67] [15, 18]), in T3SS (scc2/lcrH_1 [10.38×] , copB [8.05×], and copD [5.53×] [39]) or effectors (tarp [15.38×] [38, 41]) for priming the bacteria for their next infection, and in unknown pathways (ltuB [16.53×] [17]). Here, THBS1 is linked to infection.
