Vibrio campbellii encodes a distinct set of type III secretion system effectors that mediate cytotoxicity in eukaryotic host models

Payel Paul, Shir Mass, Hadar Cohen, Matthew L. Bochman, Ram Podicheti, Douglas B. Rusch, Motti Gerlic, Dor Salomon, Julia C. van Kessel

This study identifies four T3SS-secreted effectors in V. campbellii that exhibit cytotoxicity in eukaryotic cells, highlighting conserved T3SS structure but variable effector repertoires across the Harveyi clade.
