The <i>hokW-sokW</i> Locus Encodes a Type I Toxin–Antitoxin System That Facilitates the Release of Lysogenic Sp5 Phage in Enterohemorrhagic <i>Escherichia coli</i> O157
The toxin-antitoxin (TA) genetic modules control various bacterial events, such as plasmid maintenance, persister cell formation, and phage defense. They also exist in mobile genetic elements, including prophages; however, their physiological roles remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that...
