Their widespread presence and broad substrate specificity suggest that they have important cellular functions. In this review, we summarize the state of knowledge on microbial Nudix proteins involved in pathogenesis. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/mic.0.000993
