Antagonism by the type VI secretion system of Bacteroides fragilis is controlled by a TetR family regulator and released small molecule
Summary
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 15, April 2026. SignificanceThere are numerous external and intrinsic signals that dictate when bacteria become aggressive and when they activate their defensive systems. Here,Bacteroides fragilisstrains with a GA3 T6SS are shown to release a small molecule that acts ...
