Experimental evolution reveals genetic routes for adaptive loss of the antibacterial type VI secretion system.
This work combined experimental evolution with whole-genome sequencing and whole-genome sequencing identified two RfaH-binding ops elements within the sci1 cluster, revealing antitermination as a regulatory element of EAEC T6SS transcription, which is conserved among Enterobacteriaceae.
