Bacteriophage P22 SieA mediated superinfection exclusion

J. C. Leavitt, B. M. Woodbury, E. B. Gilcrease, C. M. Bridges, C. M. Teschke, S. R. Casjens

This study identifies SieA as the key P22 phage protein that blocks DNA injection by P22-like phages and shows that mutations in ejection proteins can overcome this block.
