CRISPR Inhibition of Prophage Acquisition in Streptococcus pyogenes [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Streptococcus pyogenes, one of the major human pathogens, is a unique species since it has acquired diverse strain-specific virulence properties mainly through the acquisition of streptococcal prophages. In addition, S.
