Primed CRISPR-Cas Adaptation and Impaired Phage Adsorption in Streptococcus mutans
Bacteria are under the constant threat of viral predation and have therefore developed several defense mechanisms, including CRISPR-Cas systems. While studies on the mode of action of CRISPR-Cas systems have already provided great insights into phage-bacterium interactions, still more inf...
