Novel Type of Specialized Transduction for CTXφ or Its Satellite Phage RS1 Mediated by Filamentous Phage VGJφ in Vibrio cholerae

The main virulence factor of Vibrio cholerae, the cholera toxin, is encoded by the ctxAB operon, which is contained in the genome of the lysogenic filamentous phage CTXφ. This phage transmits ctxAB genes between V. cholerae bacterial populations that express toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP), the CTXφ r...
