CRISPR herd immunity against a transducing phage underlies adaptive homologous recombination in resting bacteria

Pavel Payne, Pavel Plevka, Jonathan P. Bollback, Călin C. Guet

The paper shows that CRISPR-mediated herd immunity in E. coli promotes frequent homologous recombination by maintaining genetic diversity and enabling gene flow, enhancing adaptation rates.
