Phage-encoded homing endonucleases attenuate bacterial immunity
The arms race between bacteria and bacteriophages (phages) gave rise to multiple layers of antagonistic mechanisms, many of which remain unexplored. Here, we investigated the anti-phage defense system...

Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 14 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s41579-025-01256-wIn this Review, Basler and colleagues examine the type VI secretion system (T6SS), focusing on the diversity of antibacterial T6SS effectors and the evolutionary forces that shape them. They explain how effectors diversify and highlight interbacterial antagonism as a key driver of this process.
