Based on discusisons during the International Type III Secretion Meeting in Tübingen (Germany) in April 2016, a unified nomenclature for injectisome-type type III secretion sytems was proposed in 2020 (Wagner & Diepold, 2020). This nomenclature was also advertised in the corresponding Wiki entry. At the same time, it was suggested to continue using the original name for T3SS chaperones and effectors. Algorithms to predict bacterial type III effectors are listed below.
