Characterization of a Prophage-Free Derivative Strain of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis IL1403 Reveals the Importance of Prophages for Phenotypic Plasticity of the Host

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Lactococcus lactis is a lactic acid bacterium of major importance for the dairy industry and for human health. Recent sequencing surveys of this species have provided evidence that all lactococcal genomes contain prophages and prophage-like elements. The

Effect of drying on oxidation of membrane lipids and expression of genes encoded by the Shiga toxin prophage in Escherichia coli

, 2020
Drying processes do not eliminate pathogenic Escherichia coli in foods but induce sublethal injury, which may also induce the Shiga toxin (Stx) prophage.

Short-term genome evolution of Listeria monocytogenes in a non-controlled environment

BMC Genomics, 2008
Background While increasing data on bacterial evolution in controlled environments are available, our understanding of bacterial genome evolution in natural environments is limited.

TisB enables antibiotic tolerance in Salmonella by preventing prophage induction through ATP depletion.

PLoS Pathogens
Persisters are phenotypically antibiotic-tolerant cells which can survive antibiotic exposure without acquiring antibiotic resistance. A proposed important factor in persistence is low intracellular ATP levels, which are thought to reduce the activity of

Genomic and taxonomic evaluation of 38 Treponema prophage sequences

BMC Genomics
Background Despite Spirochetales being a ubiquitous and medically important order of bacteria infecting both humans and animals, there is extremely limited information regarding their bacteriophages.

Burkholderia gladioli strain NGJ1 deploys a prophage tail-like protein for mycophagy

, 2017
Fungal pathogens are responsible for approximately two third of the infectious plant diseases. Historically they have been associated with several devastating famines, causing death and disabilities in humans.

Capsular specificity in temperate phages of Klebsiella pneumoniae is driven by diverse receptor-binding enzymes.

PLoS Biology
Virulent bacteriophages infecting Klebsiella pneumoniae often show capsule-driven host tropism due to the presence of capsule-specific depolymerases. Yet for temperate phages the genetic and functional basis of such capsular specificity remains less well

High-throughput screening reveals diverse lambdoid prophage inducers

Microbiology Spectrum
Prophages, dormant bacteriophage genomes integrated within the bacterial chromosome, play pivotal roles in shaping microbial communities when awakened. Our current understanding of prophage activation is largely shaped by a narrow set of traditional DNA ...
