Tandem mobilization of anti-phage defenses alongside SCC <i>mec</i> cassettes

2023-03-18

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial viruses (phages) and the immune systems targeted against them significantly impact bacterial survival, evolution, and the emergence of pathogenic strains. While recent research has made spectacular strides towards discovering and validating new defenses in a few model organisms 1-3 , the inventory of immune systems in clinically-relevant bacteria remains under-explored, and little is known about the mec...
