Bacterial Toxin-Antitoxin Systems’ Cross-Interactions—Implications for Practical Use in Medicine and Biotechnology
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are widely present in bacterial genomes. They consist of stable toxins and unstable antitoxins that are classified into distinct groups based on their structure and biological activity. TA systems are mostly related to mobile genetic elements and can be easily acquired t...
