Breaking free : small phages inhibit murein synthesis to lyse their host /

Bacteriophages must destroy the bacterial cell wall to lyse their host and release their progeny. There are at least two distinct mechanisms by which phages destroy the cell wall, the choice of which is determined by their genome size. Bacteriophages with large genomes encode a holin-endolysin syst...
