Cutting out the φC31 prophage [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2011 SummaryTo establish a lysogenic lifestyle, the temperate bacteriophage φC31 integrates its genome into the chromosome of its Streptomyces host, by site‐specific recombination between attP (the attachment site in the phage DNA) and attB (the chromosomal attachment site). This reaction is promoted by a phage‐encoded serine recombinase Int.

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.Estuaries are vital hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) due to substantial antibiotic pollution. Although viruses have been proposed as key reservoirs and important disseminators of ARGs in environments, their contribution to the estuarine antibiotic resistome remains largely unknown.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses and the most abundant biological entities on Earth. Temperate bacteriophages can form prophages stably maintained in the host population: they either integrate into the host genome or replicate as plasmids in the host

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2026.Abstract Green tides caused by Ulva species have become one of the most serious marine ecological disasters, now impacting many coastal nations around the world. Although climatic and environmental drivers of these macroalgal blooms are well recognized, growing evidence identifies Ulva‐associated microbiota as potential pivotal regulators of bloom ...

Evolutionary History of Bacteriophages in the Genus Paraburkholderia
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The genus Paraburkholderia encompasses mostly environmental isolates with diverse predicted lifestyles. Genome analyses have shown that bacteriophages form a considerable portion of some Paraburkholderia genomes.

Bacteriophage Therapy: Current Strategies and Future Perspectives
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.This manuscript systematically reviews the expanding scope of phage applications. It moves beyond traditional antibacterial use to explore their role in precision therapies against drug‐resistant infections, their synergy with antibiotics, and advanced biomaterial‐assisted delivery systems.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.Pathogenic Vibrio species isolated from aquaculture environments in low‐ and middle‐income countries exhibit elevated antimicrobial resistance and multiple virulence traits. These findings highlight significant risks to fish health and food safety, underscoring the need for strengthened antimicrobial stewardship, robust biosecurity measures and ...
