Intercepting biological messages: Antibacterial molecules targeting nucleic acids during interbacterial conflicts
Abstract Bacteria live in polymicrobial communities and constantly compete for resources. These organisms have evolved an array of antibacterial weapons to inhibit the growth or kill competitors. The arsenal comprises antibiotics, bacteriocins, and contact-dependent effectors that are either secrete...
