The use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, and there is an urgent need to find alternative treatments to alleviate this pressure. The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a protein delivery system present in bacterial cells that secretes effectors that participate in bacterial virulence. Given the potential for the transformation of these effectors into antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), we designed T6SS effectors into AMPs that have a membrane-disrupting effect. These effectors kill bacteria by altering the membrane potential and increasing the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) content. Moreover, AMPs also have a significant therapeutic effect both and . This finding suggests that it is possible to modify bacterial components of bacteria themselves to create compounds that fight bacteria. This study first identified and modified the T6SS effector into positively charged alpha-helical peptides. These peptides have good antibacterial and bactericidal effects on G+ bacteria and G- bacteria. This study broadens the source of AMPs and makes T6SS effectors more useful.
