Type 3 secretion systems (T3SSs) are essential components of two complex bacterial
machineries: the flagellum, which drives cell motility, and the non-flagellar T3SS (NF-T3SS) …

CRISPR-Cas-mediated defense utilizes information stored as spacers in CRISPR arrays to
defend against genetic invaders. We define the mode of target interference and role in …
