This study identifies 23 novel T6SS effector/immunity modules in Salmonella SPI-6 and shows their differential distribution across serotypes.

This study identifies the phylogenetic distribution of the Vibrio T3SS2 gene cluster and its effector proteins across 1130 bacterial genomes, revealing six subgroups with distinct effector repertoires and novel effector candidates.

The paper identifies a new family of Vibrio type III secretion system effectors containing a conserved serine/threonine kinase domain, found in diverse Vibrio species and Shewanella baltica.

This study analyzes the genomic diversity, antimicrobial resistance, and virulence of Campylobacter jejuni and C. coli strains from Chile, identifying novel genetic variants and resistance patterns.

This study uses transposon-insertion sequencing to identify genes required for EHEC growth in vitro and in vivo, revealing new factors critical for intestinal colonization.

The paper uses a CRISPR screen to identify host factors critical for EHEC infection, finding shared dependencies between T3SS and Shiga toxin.
