Incomplete prophage tolerance by type III-A CRISPR-Cas systems reduces the fitness of lysogenic hosts

CRISPR-Cas systems, such as type III-A CRISPR-Cas, provide an immune mechanism for prokaryotic hosts to resist parasites, including phages. Here, the authors show that maintenance of conditionally tolerant type III-A systems can affect the fitness of Staphylococcus aureus lysogens.
