Visualization of the Serratia Type VI Secretion System Reveals Unprovoked Attacks and Dynamic Assembly

The Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a bacterial nanomachine that fires toxic proteins into target cells. Deployment of the T6SS represents an efficient and widespread means by which bacteria attack competitors or interact with host organisms and may be triggered by contact from an attacking neigh...
