Role of Staphylococcal Phage and SaPI Integrase in Intra- and Interspecies SaPI Transfer
2 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
SaPIbov2 is a member of the SaPI family of staphylococcal pathogenicity islands and is very closely related to SaPIbov1. Typically, certain temperate phages can induce excision and replication of one or more of these islands and can package them into special small phage-like particles commensurate with their genome sizes (referred to as the excision-replication-packaging [ERP] cycle). We have studied the...
