Gram-negative bacteria use type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) to antagonize neighbouring cells. Although primarily involved in bacterial competition, the T6SS is also implicated in pathogenesis, biofilm formation and ion scavenging. species belong to the ESKAPE pathogens, and while their antibiotic resistance has been well studied, less is known about their pathogenesis.

Recently, the fast development of single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) techniques has enabled high-resolution transcriptomic statistical analysis of individual cells in heterogeneous tissues, which can help researchers to explore the relationship between genes and human diseases. The emerging scRNA-seq data results in new analysis methods aiming to identify cell-level clustering and annotations. However, there are few methods developed to gain insights into the gene-level clusters with biological significance.
