The coordination of anti-phage immunity mechanisms in bacterial cells

Bacteria are equipped with diverse immune strategies to fight bacteriophage infections, including restriction nucleases, abortive infection and CRISPR-Cas systems. Here, Arias et al. use mathematical models of immune responses in individual bacterial cells to highlight the importance of the timing a...
