The SEFIR defense system is composed of a single bacterial SEFIR (bSEFIR)-domain protein. bSEFIR-domain genes were identified in bacterial genomes, were shown to be enriched in defense islands and the activity of the defense system was first experimentally validated in *Bacillus sp.* NIO-1130 against phage phi29 [1].

SEFIR was shown to protect against phage infection through an abortive infection mechanism *via* NAD+ depletion. This is similar to what can be observed in other defense systems containing a TIR domain which shares homology with the SEFIR domain (in eukaryotes, both domains are part of the STIR super family) [1].
