Bacterial biodiversity drives the evolution of CRISPR-based phage resistance in <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>
2019-03-24
Abstract excerpt
Approximately half of all bacterial species encode CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune systems 1 , which provide immunological memory by inserting short DNA sequences from phage and other parasitic DNA elements into CRISPR loci on the host genome 2 . Whereas CRISPR loci evolve rapidly in natural environments 3 , bacterial species typically evolve phage resistance by the mutation or loss of phage receptors under laborato...
