Abstract
In the January issue of Cell, Silpe and Bassler (2019) characterize a phage that looks beyond the boundaries of infected host cells by directly wiretapping their intercellular communication. This information influences the phage's decision of when to kill the host, likely in order to optimize the ecological prospects of phage progeny.
摘要
在《细胞》杂志的一月份刊上，Silpe 和 Bassler（2019）描述了一种噬菌体，它通过直接窃听被感染宿主细胞的细胞间通讯，超越了感染宿主细胞的界限。这些信息影响了噬菌体何时杀死宿主的决策，这可能是为了优化噬菌体后代的生态前景。
