Gene content, phage cycle regulation model and prophage inactivation disclosed by prophage genomics in the Helicobacter pylori Genome Project [PDF]
Gut MicrobesProphages can have major clinical implications through their ability to change pathogenic bacterial traits. There is limited understanding of the prophage role in ecological, evolutionary, adaptive processes and pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori, a ...

Common Oral Medications Lead to Prophage Induction in Bacterial Isolates from the Human Gut
Viruses, 2021 Many bacteria carry bacteriophages (bacterial viruses) integrated in their genomes in the form of prophages, which replicate passively alongside their bacterial host.

Prophage Typing of Staphylococcus aureus Strains Isolated from Broiler Poultry [PDF]
Archives of Razi Institute, 2021 Staphylococcus aureus is a well-known commensal and pathogen agent of many wild and domestic animals. A wide variety of infections can be caused by S. aureus, from suppurative skin infections to life-threatening septicemia.

Genome-based identification of active prophage regions by next generation sequencing in Bacillus licheniformis DSM13. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Prophages are viruses, which have integrated their genomes into the genome of a bacterial host. The status of the prophage genome can vary from fully intact with the potential to form infective particles to a remnant state where only a few phage genes ...

Diversity of prophage DNA regions of Streptococcus agalactiae clonal lineages from adults and neonates with invasive infectious disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The phylogenetic position and prophage DNA content of the genomes of 142 S. agalactiae (group-B streptococcus, GBS) isolates responsible for bacteremia and meningitis in adults and neonates were studied and compared.
