Acquired interbacterial defense systems protect against interspecies antagonism in the human gut microbiome

2018-11-18

Abstract excerpt

The impact of direct interactions between co-resident microbes on microbiome composition is not well understood. Here we report the occurrence of acquired interbacterial defense (AID) gene clusters in bacterial residents of the human gut microbiome. These clusters encode arrays of immunity genes that protect against type VI secretion toxin-mediated intra- and inter-species bacterial antagonism. Moreover, the clust...
