Bacteriophage P22 SieA-mediated superinfection exclusion

Bacteriophage P22 SieA-mediated superinfection exclusion

ABSTRACT Many temperate phages encode prophage-expressed functions that interfere with superinfection of the host bacterium by external phages. Salmonella phage P22 has four such systems that are expressed from the prophage in a lysogen that are encoded by the c2 (repressor), gtrABC, sieA, and sieB...
