Targeting of temperate phages drives loss of type I CRISPR-Cas systems

Upon infection of their host, temperate phages (viruses that infect bacteria) enter either a lytic or a lysogenic cycle. The former results in bacterial cell lysis and phage release (horizontal transmission), while lysogeny is characterized by integration of the phage in the host genome and dormancy...
