Abstract excerpt
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a contact-dependent contractile nanomachine widely distributed among Gram-negative bacteria, essential for interbacterial competition, host interactions and environmental adaptation. The T6SS encoded by Serratia is known to play roles in bacterial competition and contribute to niche adaptation. Yet, the diversity and distribution of T6SS loci and relevant proteins across...
