Predicted and inducible prophages display contrasting virulence gene profiles within the prophage–SaPI mobilome of Staphylococcus aureus

mSphere
Prophages play a significant role in bacterial evolution by shaping genomic diversity, virulence, and host adaptation. This study investigated the prophage composition of 109 clinical Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from four tertiary care ...

Type I Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Clostridia

Toxins, 2019
Type I toxin-antitoxin (TA) modules are abundant in both bacterial plasmids and chromosomes and usually encode a small hydrophobic toxic protein and an antisense RNA acting as an antitoxin.

Characterization of a Prophage-Free Derivative Strain of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis IL1403 Reveals the Importance of Prophages for Phenotypic Plasticity of the Host

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Lactococcus lactis is a lactic acid bacterium of major importance for the dairy industry and for human health. Recent sequencing surveys of this species have provided evidence that all lactococcal genomes contain prophages and prophage-like elements. The

Pathogenomic Characterization of Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Strains Carrying Wide Efflux-Associated and Virulence Genes from the Dairy Farm Environment in Xinjiang, China

Antibiotics
Background/Objectives: Livestock species, particularly dairy animals, can serve as important reservoirs of E. coli, carrying antibiotic resistance and virulence genes under constant selective pressure and their spread in the environment.

Exploring Viral Interactions in Clavibacter Species: In Silico Analysis of Prophage Prevalence and Antiviral Defenses

Life
Clavibacter is a phytopathogenic genus that causes severe diseases in economically important crops, yet the role of prophages in its evolution, pathogenicity, and adaptation remains poorly understood.

Prophage diversity in poultry-associated Salmonella enterica from Ecuador: a case study using an in-silico terminase-based approach

Frontiers in Microbiology
Prophages can constitute up to 30% of the accessory genome in Salmonella enterica, acting as major drivers of virulence evolution and antimicrobial resistance; however, their diversity and functional contribution in Ecuadorian poultry-associated lineages
