  1. Tss (type VI secretion) genes refers to the T6SS gene nomenclature propose by Shalom et al. [50]. These genes have been shown to be essential for secretion of at least two proteins, Hcp and VgrG and are conserved in the genome sequence of over 100 different bacteria encoding a T6SS similar to the prototype described by Pukatzki et al. [17].
