SaPI mutations affecting replication and transfer and enabling autonomous replication in the absence of helper phage

The SaPIs are chromosomal islands in staphylococci and other Gram-positive bacteria that carry genes for superantigens, virulence factors, resistance and certain metabolic functions. They have intimate relationships with certain temperate phages involving phage-induced excision, replication and effi...
