Large-scale genomic analysis reveals the distribution and diversity of type VI secretion systems in Escherichia coli

ABSTRACT 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...
