Genomic analysis of prophages in 44 clinical strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated in Saudi Arabia

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Prophages are bacteriophages that integrate their genomes into the bacterial chromosome. This research aimed to analyze and characterize prophages integrated into 44 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from tertiary hospitals in Saudi Arabia. A total

Whole-genome analysis showed the promotion of genetic diversity and coevolution in Staphylococcus aureus lytic bacteriophages and their hosts mediated by prophages via worldwide recombination events

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Prophages as a part of Staphylococcus aureus genome contribute to the genetic diversity as well as survival strategies of their host. Some S. aureus prophages also have an imminent risk of host cell lysis and become a lytic phage.

Characterization of prophages in bacterial genomes from the honey bee (Apis mellifera) gut microbiome [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
The gut of the European honey bee (Apis mellifera) possesses a relatively simple bacterial community, but little is known about its community of prophages (temperate bacteriophages integrated into the bacterial genome).

Genomic identification and characterization of prophages associated with Citrobacter freundii strains

Journal of Advanced Biotechnology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2023
Citrobacter freundii is a Gram-negative opportunistic bacterium that can cause infections, sepsis, and meningitis, predominantly in infants and immunocompromised adults. This study is aimed at investigating the distribution of prophages in C.

Comparative analysis of prophage-like elements in Helicobacter sp. genomes [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Prophages are regarded as one of the factors underlying bacterial virulence, genomic diversification, and fitness, and are ubiquitous in bacterial genomes. Information on Helicobacter sp. prophages remains scarce.

Prediction and characterization of prophages of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia reveals a remarkable phylogenetic diversity of prophages

Scientific Reports, 2023
Prophages, which enables bacterial hosts to acquire novel traits, and increase genetic variation and evolutionary innovation, are considered to be one of the greatest drivers of bacterial diversity and evolution.

Prophage identification and molecular analysis in the genomes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from critical care patients

mSphere, 2023
Prophages are bacteriophages integrated into the bacterial host’s chromosome. This research aims to analyze and characterize the existing prophages within a collection of 53 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from intensive care units (ICUs) in Portugal and ...
