Comparative Genomic Analysis of Ten <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> Temperate Bacteriophages
6 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important human pathogen that often carries temperate bacteriophages. As part of a program to characterize the genetic makeup of prophages associated with clinical strains and to assess the potential roles that they play in the biology and pathogenesis in their host, we performed comparative genomic analysis of 10 temperate pneumococcal phages. All of the genomes are organized into...
