Development of a prophage typing system and analysis of prophage carriage in Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Mar 2009

Romero Patricia, García Ernesto, Mitchell Tim J

Abstract excerpt

The frequency of prophage carriage was tested in a collection of 108 clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae. A PCR-based assay was developed to allow classification of the prophage into the three groups recently identified according to genome comparisons (P. Romero, N. Croucher, N. L. Hiller, F. Z. Hu, G. D. Ehrlich, S. D. Bentley, E. García, and T. J. Mitchell, submitted for publication). Use of the assay...
