Alternative Mechanism of Cholera Toxin Acquisition by Vibrio cholerae: Generalized Transduction of CTXΦ by Bacteriophage CP-T1

Horizontal transfer of genes encoding virulence factors has played a central role in the evolution of many pathogenic bacteria. The unexpected discovery that the genes encoding cholera toxin (ctxAB), the main cause of the profuse secretory diarrhea characteristic of cholera, are encoded on a novel f...
