Lysogeny of Streptococcus pneumoniae with MM1 phage: improved adherence and other phenotypic changes.

Infection and immunity - 1 Aug 2006

Loeffler Jutta M, Fischetti Vincent A

Abstract excerpt

Pneumococcal prophages are extremely frequent, but no role in pathogenesis has so far been attributed to them. We isolated a variant of phage MM1, named MM1-1998, from a serotype 24 strain of Streptococcus pneumoniae. We created three isogenic strain pairs (serotypes 3, 4, and 24) that differed only by the lysogenic presence of the MM1-1998 phage and did a phenotypic comparison. Lysogeny led to improved adherence...
