Abortive infection (Abi) systems, also called phage exclusion, block phage multiplication and cause premature bacterial cell death upon phage infection. This decreases the number of progeny particles and limits their spread to other cells allowing the bacterial population to survive. Twenty Abi systems have been isolated in Lactococcus lactis, a bacterium used in cheese-making fermentation processes, where phage attacks are of economical importance. Recent insights in their expression and mode of action indicate that, behind diverse phenotypic and molecular effects, lactococcal Abis share common traits with the well-studied Escherichia coli systems Lit and Prr. Abis are widespread in bacteria, and recent analysis indicates that Abis might have additional roles other than conferring phage resistance.

# Abi2 # Abi2
## Description
The Abi2 system corresponds to a group of abortive infection systems: [AbiD](/defense-systems/abid), AbiD1 and AbiF.
The Abi2/AbiD1 system of lactococci is composed of a single protein Abi_2 :ref{doi=10.1016/j.mib.2005.06.006}. Expression of the protein is toxic to the bacteria and is therefore highly regulated. Expression of the protein is triggered by the orf1 of phage bIL66 which results in inhibition of the phage RuvC-like endonuclease activity and stops phage multiplication.
## Molecular mechanism
For AbiD1 :ref{doi=10.1128/jb.177.13.3824-3829.1995} (AAA79209), the expression of the protein is toxic to the bacteria and is therefore highly regulated. Expression of the protein is triggered by the orf1 of phage bIL66 which results in inhibition of the phage RuvC-like endonuclease activity and stops phage multiplication.
