Abstract
Bacterial populations are ubiquitously threatened by viral predation. In this issue, Tzipilevich and colleagues show that bacteria killed by viruses release a danger signal that warns neighboring cells to ramp up their defenses. This "message from the dead" thereby induces phenotypic tolerance to infections and slows down viral spread in the population.Entities:
