The Prophage and Plasmid Mobilome as a Likely Driver of Mycobacterium abscessus Diversity
mBio, 2021 Mycobacterium abscessus is an important emerging pathogen that is challenging to treat with current antibiotic regimens. There is substantial genomic variation in M. abscessus clinical isolates, but little is known about how this influences pathogenicity

The heterogenous and diverse population of prophages in Mycobacterium genomes
mSystems, 2023 Bacterial genomes commonly carry one or more integrated prophages, although prophage prevalence varies greatly in different bacterial genera and species.

mSystems, 2022 Phages and prophages are one of the principal modulators of microbial populations. However, much of their diversity is still poorly understood. Here, we extracted 33,624 prophages from 13,713 complete prokaryotic genomes to explore the prophage diversity

bioRxiv, 2020 Bacteria can acquire antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) via prophages, phage genomes integrated into bacterial chromosomes. Such prophages may influence bacterial fitness via increased antibiotic resistance, protection from further phage infection, or by

Virus Research, 2023 Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida is a Gam-negative bacterium responsible for furunculosis in fish. Because this aquatic bacterial pathogen has a rich reservoir of antibiotic-resistant genes, it is essential to investigate antibacterial ...

Dietary prophage inducers and antimicrobials: toward landscaping the human gut microbiome
Gut microbes, 2020 The approximately 1011 viruses and microbial cells per gram of fecal matter (dry weight) in the large intestine are important to human health. The responses of three common gut bacteria species, and one opportunistic pathogen, to 117 commonly consumed ...

BMC Microbiology, 2012 Background Prophages of enteric bacteria are frequently of key importance for the biology, virulence, or host adaptation of their host. Some C. jejuni isolates carry homologs of the CJIE1 (CMLP 1) prophage that carry cargo genes potentially involved in ...
