Figures

Fig 1. An overview of bacterial defense systems against phage.

Each step of the phage lytic replication cycle is shown in italics. For simplicity, the cell wall and outer membrane (for gram-negative bacteria) is not shown. Bacteria can use a range of antiphage systems that can target all stages of the phage life cycle.
