In addition to thermostable direct hemolysin (tdh) and tdh-related hemolysin (trh), two sets of type III secretion systems (T3SS) were recently found to be associated closely with virulence. T3SS1 located on chromosome 1 is involved in cytotoxicity to host cells and orchestrates a multifaceted host cell infection by induction of autophagy, cell rounding, and eventual cell lysis.
