Abstract excerpt
Lysogenic bacteriophages are a significant source of variability in closely related Salmonella strains. In this study, screening for diversity of 152 Salmonella Typhimurium strains was performed using PCR detection of selected prophage regions derived from phages P22, Gifsy-1, Gifsy-2, Fels-1, ST104 and SopEPhi. A high degree of variability was observed in the presence of specific genes. Based on the presence of...
