Type VI secretion system-mediated bacterial antagonism in the classroom
The study of bacterial antagonism, and specifically type VI secretion system (T6SS)-mediated antagonism, has gained momentum over the last decade in research laboratories across the world. The T6SS is...

Very happy to see this work published! We unveil a plasmid-chromosome crosstalk by showing that pOXA-48 encodes for a regulator that mediates the transcription of an enterobacterial chromosomal operon, resulting in a growth benefit for the plasmid-carrying bacteria! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Mechanisms of P. aeruginosa resistance to Type VI Secretion System attacks
The Type VI Secretion Systems (T6SSs) is a molecular nanomachine that injects toxic effector proteins into the environment or neighbouring cells, and thus plays an important role in interbacterial com...
