Antagonism by the Type VI secretion system of Bacteroides fragilis is controlled by a TetR family regulator and released small molecule

Leila Tuzlak, Téa E. Pappas, Michael J. Coyne…·Laurie E. Comstock

This paper identifies a small molecule regulated by a TetR family regulator that controls the GA3 T6SS and immunity genes in Bacteroides fragilis, enabling coordinated antagonism and defense.
