Pantoea ananatis Utilizes a Type VI Secretion System for Pathogenesis and Bacterial Competition

Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) are a class of macromolecular machines that are recognized as an important virulence mechanism in several gram-negative bacteria. The genome of Pantoea ananatis LMG 2665T, a pathogen of pineapple fruit and onion plants, carries two gene clusters whose predicted prod...
