Conjugative Secretion Systems

Conjugative Secretion System is a specialized type of bacterial secretion system that belongs to the broader class of protein and nucleoprotein transport mechanisms, distinguished by its ability to mediate the direct transfer of DNA or DNA-protein complexes between bacterial cells through cell-to-cell contact, primarily facilitating horizontal gene transfer.
