Secretion both DNA and proteins. It was discovered in "Agrobacterium tumefaciens", which uses this system to introduce the T-DNA portion of the Ti plasmid into the plant host, which in turn causes the affected area to develop into a crown gall (tumor). "Helicobacter pylori" uses a type IV secretion system to deliver CagA into gastric epithelial cells, which is associated with gastric carcinogenesis. "Bordetella pertussis", the causative agent of whooping cough, secretes the pertussis toxin partly through the type IV system. "Legionella pneumophila", the causing agent of legionellosis (Legionnaires' disease) utilizes a type IVB secretion system, known as the icm/dot (intracellular
Paget–Schroetter disease axillary and subclavian veins. Paget–Schroetter disease Paget–Schroetter disease, also known as Paget–von Schrötter disease, is a form of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a medical condition in which blood clots form in the deep veins of the arms. These DVTs typically occur in the axillary or subclavian veins. The condition is relatively rare. It usually presents in young and otherwise healthy patients, and also occurs more often in males than females. The syndrome also became known as "effort-induced thrombosis" in the 1960s, as it has been reported to occur after vigorous activity, though it can also occur due to
