Abstract excerpt
Pf1-like bacteriophages (family Inoviridae) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa can contribute to bacterial short term evolution and virulence. Here we examine Pf1-like (pro)phage diversity and prevalence among different P. aeruginosa isolates. Pf1-like prophages in sequenced genomes of P. aeruginosa were analyzed and grouped into four clades: Pf4, Pf5, Pf7 and Pf-LES. P. aeruginosa strains (n=241) were screened for the...
