Prophages and satellite prophages are widespread in Streptococcus and may play a role in pneumococcal pathogenesis [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2019
Prophages are viral genomes integrated within bacterial genomes. Here, Rezaei Javan et al. identify nearly 800 prophages and satellite prophages in > 1300 Streptococcus genomes, and show that a satellite prophage is associated with virulence in a mouse ...

Comprehensive discovery and functional characterization of diverse prophages in the pig gut microbiome

Frontiers in Microbiology
Prophages, viruses integrated into bacterial or archaeal genomes, can carry cargo that confers beneficial phenotypes to the host. The porcine gut microbiota constitutes a complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem, yet the distribution of prophages ...

Comparative Metagenomic Analysis of Bacteriophages and Prophages in Gnotobiotic Mouse Models

Microorganisms
Gnotobiotic murine models are important to understand microbiota–host interactions. Despite the role of bacteriophages as drivers for microbiome structure and function, there is no information about the structure and function of the gut virome in ...
