Background: Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) is a part of an adaptive immune system in prokaryotes and occurring in diverse forms of bacteria.
Case Presentation: We presented the results of sequence analysis which can help in understanding the presence of CRISPR-mediated antiphage ability in both pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli.
Conclusion: Endogenous CRISPR spacers with imperfect matches are the candidates of anti-phage function in genetically distant strains of E. coli.
