Mobile effector proteins on phage genomes [PDF]
Bacteriophage, 2012 Bacteriophage genomes found in a range of bacterial pathogens encode a diverse array of virulence factors ranging from superantigens or pore forming lysins to numerous exotoxins. Recent studies have uncovered an entirely new class of bacterial virulence factors, called effector proteins or effector toxins, which are encoded within phage genomes that ...

Vibrio choleraePhage K139: Complete Genome Sequence and Comparative Genomics of Related Phages [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2002 ABSTRACTIn this report, we characterize the complete genome sequence of the temperate phage K139, which morphologically belongs to theMyoviridaephage family (P2 and 186). The prophage genome consists of 33,106 bp, and the overall GC content is 48.9%. Forty-four open reading frames were identified.

Genetically distant bacteriophages select for unique genomic changes in Enterococcus faecalis
MicrobiologyOpen, 2022 The human microbiota harbors diverse bacterial and bacteriophage (phage) communities. Bacteria evolve to overcome phage infection, thereby driving phage evolution to counter bacterial resistance. Understanding how phages select for genetic alterations in

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]
, 2012 Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.
