Large-scale genomic analysis reveals the distribution and diversity of Type VI Secretion Systems in <i>Escherichia coli</i>
2025-01-24
Abstract excerpt
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a versatile nanomachine that injects effectors into target cells, playing a role in bacterial competition and virulence. While widespread in Gram-negative bacteria, T6SS prevalence varies across species and strains, and its distribution in Escherichia coli remains underexplored despite E. coli being an important intestinal (IPEC) and extraintestinal (ExPEC) pathogen. Here,...
