Microbiology: And Amoebophilus Invented the Machine Gun!
Abstract
Bacterial contractile injection systems are fascinating particles that use a spring-like mechanism to inject an effector-loaded needle into target cells. A recent study shows that the intracellular bacterium Amoebophilus asiaticus uses arrays of contractile structures to escape from the amoeba phagosome.
