Analysis of <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> genomes using a novel bioinformatic tool identifies new, active Type VI Secretion System gene clusters

2019-01-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Like many bacteria, Vibrio cholerae , which causes fatal cholera, 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 immunity factors. Only four effector/immunity pairs encoded on one large and three aux...
