Beyond plasmid addiction: the role of toxin–antitoxin systems in the selfish behavior of mobile genetic elements
ABSTRACT Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems were initially described as “addiction” modules that promote plasmid maintenance through a post-segregational killing (PSK) mechanism. In this process, the cells are forced to retain plasmids to avoid death caused by the longer half-life of the toxin compared to...
