Abstract excerpt
Vibrio anguillarum is a marine pathogenic bacterium that causes vibriosis in fish and shellfish. Although prophage-like sequences have been predicted in V. anguillarum strains, many are not characterized, and it is not known if they retain the functional capacity to form infectious particles that can infect and lysogenize other bacterial hosts. In this study, the genome sequences of 28 V. anguillarum strains...
