Toxin-antitoxin Systems

Toxin-Antitoxin Systems is a genetic module in prokaryotic cells consisting of a stable toxin that inhibits cellular growth and a labile antitoxin that neutralizes the toxin, functioning primarily in plasmid maintenance, stress response, and biocontainment by ensuring the selective survival of cells retaining the system.
