Abstract excerpt
Infection of Salmonella enterica with lytic mutants of either P22 or SE1 bacteriophages triggers the expression of its DNA damage-inducible SOS response through a lexA-dependent pathway. This induction of the SOS system strictly requires the presence of the bacteriophage kil gene. Accordingly, plasmid overexpression of the kil gene also promotes the S. enterica SOS network induction. Furthermore, S. enterica...
