New online! The type VI secretion system and associated effector proteins
The type VI secretion system and associated effector proteins
Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 14 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41579-025-01256-wIn this Review, Basler and colleagues examine the type VI secretion system (T6SS), focusing on the diversity of antibacterial T6SS effectors and the evolutionary forces that shape them. They explain how effectors diversify and highlight interbacterial antagonism as a key driver of this process.

Lilly Cummins investigates genomic relics of bacterial warfare in commensal E. coli. Prevalence of 234 ST131 core alleles were quantified pre-1999 and post-2015 (pandemic period). 40% of alleles were shown to be absent pre-2000. #BacterialWarfare #Genomics
