Capsules and their traits affect phage susceptibility and plasmid conjugation efficiency, as per a preprint by Matthieu Haudiquet et al. They show that capsule swaps invert phage susceptibility and affect conjugation efficiency, with implic

Michael Schelling et al. published a new paper in PLOS Biology on how CRISPR-Cas effector specificity and cleavage site determine phage escape outcomes. They find that most pre-existing crRNA mismatches lead to phage escape, regardless of w
