Prophage-Dependent Neighbor Predation Fosters Horizontal Gene Transfer by Natural Transformation

Natural transformation is a broadly conserved mechanism of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in bacteria that can shape their evolution through the acquisition of genes that promote virulence, antibiotic resistance, and other traits. Recent work has established that neighbor predation via type VI secre...
