Programmed Cell Death in Escherichia coli: Some Antibiotics Can Trigger mazEF Lethality

The discovery of toxin-antitoxin gene pairs (also called addiction modules) on extrachromosomal elements of Escherichia coli, and particularly the discovery of homologous modules on the bacterial chromosome, suggest that a potential for programmed cell death may be inherent in bacterial cultures. We...
