OverviewAI-generated summary
Kenneth T. Appell's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis, particularly concerning the bacterium *Yersinia pestis*, the causative agent of plague. His work investigates how *Yersinia pestis* interacts with host organisms and employs specific virulence factors to establish infection. Recent publications explore the role of the BipA protein as a regulator of pesticin and type VI secretion systems, as well as the regulation of the *Yersinia pestis* plasminogen activator protease by the PhoP/PhoQ two-component system. Additionally, his research has examined the contribution of pulmonary interleukin-17 to neutrophil infiltration during pneumonic plague. Appell collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Madeleine G. Scott, Jon S. Blevins, and Wanfeng Guo, on shared publications.
