Clostridium perfringens is an extremely versatile pathogen of humans and livestock, causing
wound infections like gas gangrene (clostridial myonecrosis), enteritis/enterocolitis …

Type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are versatile multiprotein nanomachines spanning the
entire cell envelope in Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacteria. They play important …

The bacterial type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) translocate DNA and protein substrates to
bacterial or eukaryotic target cells generally by a mechanism dependent on direct cell-to-cell …

In both humans and animals, Clostridium perfringens is an important cause of histotoxic
infections and diseases originating in the intestines, such as enteritis and enterotoxemia …

Enterococci have been recognized as important hospital-acquired pathogens in recent
years, and isolates of E. faecalis and E. faecium are the third-to fourth-most prevalent …

Conjugation of DNA through a type IV secretion system (T4SS) drives horizontal gene
transfer. Yet little is known on the diversity of these nanomachines. We previously found that …

Escherichia coli and other Gram-negative and-positive bacteria employ type IV secretion
systems (T4SSs) to translocate DNA and protein substrates, generally by contact-dependent …

The bacterial type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) comprise a biologically diverse group of
translocation systems functioning to deliver DNA or protein substrates from donor to target …

Type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are large multisubunit translocons, found in both gram-
negative and gram-positive bacteria and in some archaea. These systems transport a …

Conjugative transfer is an important driver in evolution, enabling bacteria to acquire new
traits (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). During conjugative transfer, DNA translocation across the cell envelopes …
