The phage defence island of a multidrug resistant plasmid uses both BREX and type IV restriction for complementary protection from viruses
Bacteria have evolved a multitude of systems to prevent invasion by bacteriophages and other mobile genetic elements. Comparative genomics suggests that genes encoding bacterial defence mechanisms are often clustered in ‘defence islands’, providing a concerted level of protection against a wider ran...
