Mechanisms of bacterial immunity, protection, and survival during interbacterial warfare
NW Kennedy, LE Comstock - Cell Host & Microbe, 2024 - cell.com
Most bacteria live in communities, often with closely related strains and species with whom
they must compete for space and resources. Consequently, bacteria have acquired or …

Systematic discovery of pseudomonad genetic factors involved in sensitivity to tailocins
Tailocins are bactericidal protein complexes produced by a wide variety of bacteria that kill
closely related strains and may play a role in microbial community structure. Thanks to their …
