Fig. 9: P. aeruginosa possesses multiple resistance mechanisms against T6SS attacks.
From: Mechanisms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistance to type VI secretion system attacks
Model summarizing the different mechanisms identified in this study that contribute to the protection of P. aeruginosa against T6SS attacks from A. baylyi ADP1 and V. cholerae 2740-80. These include mechanisms that are specific to certain effector types that may be carried by a subset of strains (like the Mag complex and Aas) and more general protection mechanisms that exert protection against the effectors carried by multiple attacker species (like the Arc1 and Arc3 complexes, the OprF OMP and the GacS/GacA TCS).
