Secreting bacteria undergo drastic changes. We found that in Yersinia, T3SS activation triggers rapid, large-scale reorganisation of chromosomal and plasmid DNA. This links secretion to growth inhibition-revealing a new connection between virulence and bacterial cell biology. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...
