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.

The paper investigates how host model and transcription regulators influence T6SS effector-mediated toxicity in Vibrio proteolyticus, showing host-dependent effector activation and regulation.

This study shows marine bacteria use T6SS to compete in liquid by aggregating via adhesins, challenging the assumption that T6SS activity is limited to solid surfaces.

The paper assesses the pathogenic potential of Vibrio isolates from Israel's coastal waters, finding toxin diversity, immune cell toxicity, and antibiotic resistance.

This study identifies two temperature-regulated T6SSs in Vibrio coralliilyticus, revealing their roles in bacterial competition and host toxicity, with T6SS2 secreting nine novel anti-eukaryotic toxins.

The paper demonstrates a genetic system that biases the sex ratio in mice by causing male embryos to self-destruct through targeted gene disruption.
