An Efficient, Counter-Selection-Based Method for Prophage Curing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains
Viruses, 2021 Prophages are bacteriophages in the lysogenic state, where the viral genome is inserted within the bacterial chromosome. They contribute to strain genetic variability and can influence bacterial phenotypes. Prophages are highly abundant among the strains

Life, 2023 Antimicrobial resistance is rising as a major global public health threat and antibiotic resistance genes are widely spread among species, including human oral pathogens, e.g., Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans.

Characterization of prophages in bacterial genomes from the honey bee (Apis mellifera) gut microbiome [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 The gut of the European honey bee (Apis mellifera) possesses a relatively simple bacterial community, but little is known about its community of prophages (temperate bacteriophages integrated into the bacterial genome).

Screening for Lysogen Activity in Therapeutically Relevant Bacteriophages
Bio-Protocol, 2021 Lysogenic phages can integrate into their bacterial host’s genome, potentially transferring any genetic information they possess including virulence or resistance genes, and are therefore routinely excluded from therapeutic applications.

mBio, 2020 Colicins are toxins produced and released by Enterobacteriaceae to kill competitors in the gut. While group A colicins employ a division of labor strategy to liberate the toxin into the environment via colicin-specific lysis, group B colicin systems lack

A φSa3int (NM3) Prophage Domestication in Staphylococcus aureus Leads to Increased Virulence Through Human Immune Evasion [PDF]
MedComm (2020)Prophages play a significant role in modulating bacterial virulence and pathogenicity. Our results suggest domestication of φSa3int prophage leads to reduced phagocytosis mediating escape of S. aureus from human innate immunity. As such, targeted identification of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in addition to species and strain identification may lead ...

Lysogenicity in Xanthomonas pruni [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1955 An apparently lysogenic strain of Xanthomonas pruni was isolated. A series of experiments was performed to determine whether the isolate was lysogenic or whether it was a case of pseudolysogenesis. The results indicated that it was a true case of lysogenesis. The phage released by the lysogenic organism differed from the one used in its selection.

Large Preferred Region for Packaging of Bacterial DNA by phiC725A, a Novel Pseudomonas aeruginosa F116-Like Bacteriophage. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Bacteriophage vB_PaeP_PAO1_phiC725A (short name phiC725A) was isolated following mitomycin C induction of C7-25, a clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain carrying phiC725A as a prophage.

Lysogenic Conversion of Rhizobium trifolii [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1970 Surmmary Rhizobium trifolii strain SU 297, when lysogenized with phage 7 or its clear-plaque mutant 7cr, underwent lysogenic conversion that resulted in loss of ability to adsorb phages 7 and 7cr and the related phage 8. The same conversion was reflected in changes in the surface of the bacterium by which a somatic antigen, characteristic of the parent
