This shows that "abortive infection" phenotypes are not neccessarily in all cases a "last line" of defense, but may be the consequence of mechanisms interferring with early steps in the phage life cycle.
We further show synergy of daunorubicin with RM systems targeting the FST region T5 phages.

Phages often degrade the genome of their bacterial host to individual nucleotides and use these nucleotides to build their own genome. In this study, we describe a bacterial defense system that direct...
