Bacteria use toxin delivery systems, such as the type VI secretion system (T6SS), to antagonize competitors. The T6SS transports toxins, called effectors, directly into recipient cells. In the absence of cognate immunity proteins that protect against kin-intoxication, these effectors target conserved and essential cell components resulting in growth arrest or cell death. Here, we focus on antibacterial T6SS effectors and explore their different activities, modes of delivery, and the domains and proteins that are associated with them to provide a modular and dynamic toxin arsenal. We conclude that these natural machines present a lucrative pool and platform for future antibacterial treatments.
