Intra-phage immunity: set a (pro)phage to catch a phage

In this issue, Brenes and Laub screen temperate phages for defenses against other temperate phages. This uncovers an array of prophage-encoded immune systems in E. coli. The work expands the concept of phage-phage conflict, reveals context dependency of defense, and highlights temperate phages as both targets and carriers of anti-phage immunity.

Abstract

In this issue, Brenes and Laub screen temperate phages for defenses against other temperate phages. This uncovers an array of prophage-encoded immune systems in E. coli. The work expands the concept of phage-phage conflict, reveals context dependency of defense, and highlights temperate phages as both targets and carriers of anti-phage immunity.
