A broad-spectrum phage-encoded mechanism to disarm bacterial type IV filaments
{{output}}
Bacteria-specific viruses, or phages, can modify host cell physiology to thwart competitors. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa-specific phage DMS3 encodes Aqs1, a protein inhibitor of type IV pilus (T4P) function. T4P are important virulence factors widely distribute... ...
