Characterization of Mu-Like Yersinia Phages Exhibiting Temperature Dependent Infection
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Yersinia pestis is the etiological agent of plague. Marmota himalayana of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau is the primary host of flea-borne Y. pestis. This study is the report of isolation of Mu-like bacteriophages of Y. pestis from M. himalayana.

Characterization of a New Temperate Escherichia coli Phage vB_EcoP_ZX5 and Its Regulatory Protein
Pathogens, 2022 The study of the interaction between temperate phages and bacteria is vital to understand their role in the development of human diseases. In this study, a novel temperate Escherichia coli phage, vB_EcoP_ZX5, with a genome size of 39,565 bp, was isolated

BACPHLIP: predicting bacteriophage lifestyle from conserved protein domains [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Bacteriophages are broadly classified into two distinct lifestyles: temperate and virulent. Temperate phages are capable of a latent phase of infection within a host cell (lysogenic cycle), whereas virulent phages directly replicate and lyse host cells ...

Control of λ Lysogenic Escherichia coli Cells by Synthetic λ Phage Carrying cIantisense
ACS Synthetic Biology, 2022 Enterobacterial phage λ is a temperate phage that infects Escherichia coli and has a lytic–lysogenic life cycle. CI, a λ repressor, regulates the expression of lytic transcripts and acts as a major genetic switch that determines the lysogenic state.

Characterization of Temperate LPS-Binding Bordetella avium Phages That Lack Superinfection Immunity
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Bordetella avium causes a highly infectious upper respiratory tract disease in turkeys and other poultry with high economic losses. Considering the antimicrobial resistance crisis, bacteriophages (phages) may be an alternative approach for treating ...

Lateral transduction is inherent to the life cycle of the archetypical Salmonella phage P22
Nature Communications, 2021 Lysogenic induction ends the stable association between a bacteriophage and its host, and the transition to the lytic cycle begins with early prophage excision followed by DNA replication and packaging (ERP). This temporal program is considered universal

Insights into the mechanism of action of the arbitrium communication system in SPbeta phages
Nature Communications, 2022 The arbitrium system is a peptide-based communication system to coordinate the lysis-lysogenic cycle of phages infecting bacteria. Here Gallego del Sol et al. provide the crystal structure of Aim-receptor of Katmira phage infecting B.

PLoS ONE, 2022 Bacteriophages exhibit a vast spectrum of relatedness and there is increasing evidence of close genomic relationships independent of host genus. The variability in phage similarity at the nucleotide, amino acid, and gene content levels confounds attempts
