Use of zebrafish to identify host responses specific to type VI secretion system mediated interbacterial antagonism
Interbacterial competition is known to shape the microbial communities found in the host,
however the interplay between this competition and host defense are less clear. Here, we …

Zebrafish null mutants of Sept6 and Sept15 are viable but more susceptible to Shigella infection
Septins are evolutionarily conserved GTP‐binding proteins known for their roles in cell
division and host defence against Shigella infection. Although septin group members are …
