Coordination of cohabiting phage elements supports bacteria–phage cooperation
Bacterial pathogens often carry multiple phage-derived elements within their genome. Here, the authors show that two phage elements are co-regulated in Listeria monocytogenes, the first one controlling the induction of the second one, which in turn regulates virulence of their bacterial host.
