  "summary": "Adherent Invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) strains are associated with ileal Crohn's disease and may contribute to intestinal dysbiosis through antibacterial competition. The AIEC reference strain LF82 encodes two type VI secretion systems (T6SSs), a contractile machine that injects an effector-loaded needle made of Hcp, VgrG and PAAR into neighbouring rivals, favoring niche colonization. LF82…",
