A widespread bacteriophage abortive infection system functions through a Type IV toxin–antitoxin mechanism
Bacterial abortive infection (Abi) systems are ‘altruistic’ cell death systems that are activated by phage infection and limit viral replication, thereby providing protection to the bacterial population. Here, we have used a novel approach of screening Abi systems as a tool to identify and character...
