Acinetobacter baumannii Kills Fungi via a Type VI DNase Effector

ABSTRACT Many Gram-negative bacteria deploy a type VI secretion system (T6SS) to inject toxins into target cells to promote their survival and replication in complex environments. Here, we report that Acinetobacter baumannii uses its T6SS to kill fungi and that the effector TafE (ACX60_15365) is res...
