Sporadic phage defense in epidemic Vibrio cholerae mediated by the toxin-antitoxin system DarTG is countered by a phage-encoded antitoxin mimic

ABSTRACT Bacteria and their viral predators (phages) are constantly evolving to subvert one another. Many bacterial immune systems that inhibit phages are encoded on mobile genetic elements that can be horizontally transmitted to diverse bacteria. Despite the pervasive appearance of immune systems i...
