Anti-phage islands force their target phage to directly mediate island excision and spread

2017-11-11

Abstract excerpt

To defend against their adversaries, bacteria and phage engage in cycles of adaptation and counter-adaptation that shape their mutual evolution 1–3 . Vibrio cholerae , the causative agent of the diarrheal disease cholera, is antagonized by phages in the environment as well as in human hosts 4,5 . The lytic phage ICP1 has been recovered from cholera patient stool and water samples over at least 12 years in Bangl...
