The landscape of bacterial contractile injection systems across large-scale metagenomes

ABSTRACT Bacterial contractile injection systems (CISs) have evolved as sophisticated mechanisms that enable bacteria to interact with and manipulate their hosts. Resembling bacteriophage tails, these systems inject effector proteins directly into target cells, facilitating complex bacterial-host in...
