Structure of a novel contractile injection system in <i>Salmonella enterica</i> subsp. <i>salamae</i>
2025-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Extracellular contractile injection systems (eCISs) are phage-derived nanomachines used by bacteria to deliver effectors into target cells. Well-studied examples include the Photorhabdus asymbiotica virulence cassettes and the antifeeding prophage from Serratia entomophila , which have been engineered for heterologous cargo delivery. Recent genomic analyses identified previously uncharacterized eCIS gene cluster...
