Glucose promotes bacterial fitness while simultaneously repressing a major virulence effector ppTse6

Pseudomonas plecoglossicida ( P. plecoglossicida ) is an important aquatic pathogen whose virulence is closely associated with the type VI secretion system effector ppTse6. Previous studies have demonstrated that ppTse6 disrupts host energy metabolism and contributes substantially to bacterial pathogenicity....
