Comparative genomics of the type VI secretion systems of <it>Pantoea </it>and <it>Erwinia </it>species reveals the presence of putative effector islands that may be translocated by the VgrG and Hcp proteins

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The Type VI secretion apparatus is assembled by a conserved set of proteins encoded within a distinct locus. The putative effector proteins Hcp and VgrG are also encoded within these loci. We have identified numerous distinct Type VI...
