Core defense hotspots within Pseudomonas aeruginosa are a consistent and rich source of anti-phage defense systems - PubMed
Bacteria use a diverse arsenal of anti-phage immune systems, including CRISPR-Cas and restriction enzymes. Recent advances in anti-phage system discovery and annotation tools have unearthed many unique systems, often encoded in horizontally transferred defense islands, which can be horizontally tran …
