Targeted Curing of All Lysogenic Bacteriophage from Streptococcus pyogenes Using a Novel Counter-selection Technique. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Streptococcus pyogenes is a human commensal and a bacterial pathogen responsible for a wide variety of human diseases differing in symptoms, severity, and tissue tropism. The completed genome sequences of >37 strains of S.

Inhibition of development of Shiga toxin-converting bacteriophages by either treatment with citrate or amino acid starvation [PDF]
, 2012 Objectives: Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are pathogenic strains, whose virulence depends on induction of Shiga toxin–converting prophages and their subsequent lytic development.

Sequence Variability of P2-Like Prophage Genomes Carrying the Cytolethal Distending Toxin V Operon in Escherichia coli O157 [PDF]
, 2013 Cytolethal distending toxins (CDT) are potent cytotoxins of several Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli, in which five types (CDT-I to CDT-V) have been identified so far.

Identification of prophages in bacterial genomes by dinucleotide relative abundance difference. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 BACKGROUND: Prophages are integrated viral forms in bacterial genomes that have been found to contribute to interstrain genetic variability. Many virulence-associated genes are reported to be prophage encoded.

The Promise and Pitfalls of Prophages
, 2023 Abstract Phages dominate every ecosystem on the planet. While virulent phages sculpt the microbiome by killing their bacterial hosts, temperate phages provide unique growth advantages to their hosts through lysogenic conversion. Many prophages benefit their host, and prophages are responsible for genotypic and phenotypic differences ...

Influence of the Escherichia coli oxyR gene function on lambda prophage maintenance [PDF]
, 2010 In Escherichia coli hosts, hydrogen peroxide is one of the factors that may cause induction of lambda prophage. Here, we demonstrate that H2O2-mediated lambda prophage induction is signiWcantly enhanced in the oxyR mutant host. The mRNA levels for cI

The superimmunity gene sim of bacteriophage P1 causes superinfection exclusion [PDF]
, 1989 Kliem M, Dreiseikelmann B. The superimmunity gene sim of bacteriophage P1 causes superinfection exclusion. Virology. 1989;171(2):350-355.Previous work has shown that the sim gene of bacteriophage P1, if cloned into a multicopy vector, confers immunity ...
