CDI Systems Are Stably Maintained by a Cell-Contact Mediated Surveillance Mechanism

Contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) systems are widespread amongst Gram-negative bacteria where they play important roles in inter-cellular competition and biofilm formation. CDI(+) bacteria use cell-surface CdiA proteins to bind neighboring bacteria and deliver C-terminal toxin domains. CDI(+...
