Functional and Structural Diversity of Bacterial Contact-Dependent Growth Inhibition Effectors
26 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
Bacteria live in complex communities and environments, competing for space and nutrients. Within their niche habitats, bacteria have developed various inter-bacterial mechanisms to compete and communicate. One such mechanism is contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI). CDI is found in many Gram-negative bacteria, including several pathogens. These CDI+ bacteria encode a CdiB/CdiA two-partner secretion system...
