The vir Gene of Bacteriophage MAV1 Confers Resistance to Phage Infection on Mycoplasma arthritidis

Lysogenization of Mycoplasma arthritidis with the MAV1 bacteriophage increases the virulence of the mycoplasma in rats. The MAV1 vir gene is one of only two constitutively transcribed phage genes in the lysogen. We show here that Vir is a lipoprotein and is located on the outer surface of the cell m...
