A humble bacterium sweeps this year's Nobel Prize
Article Abstract:
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to the Australians Barry Marshall and Robin Warren in December 2005 for their discovery of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and its role in peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. It was the first time since 1928 that the Nobel Prize awarded for the discovery of a bacterium, Helicobacter pylori the first bacterium associated with cancer.

Translation/secretion coupling by type III secretion systems
Article Abstract:
Type III secretion systems or chaperones participate in the export of virulence proteins and flagellar components in Gram-negative bacteria. Data demonstrate that chaperones also mediate translation of the secreted proteins and together with chaperone FlgM, they exhibit both mRNA and amino acid secretion signals.
