Analysis of Vibrio cholerae genomes identifies new type VI secretion system gene clusters
Abstract Background Like many bacteria, Vibrio cholerae deploys a harpoon-like type VI secretion system (T6SS) to compete against other microbes in environmental and host settings. The T6SS punctures adjacent cells and delivers toxic effector proteins that are harmless to bacteria carrying cognate i...
