O antigen restricts lysogenization of non-O157 Escherichia coli strains by Stx-converting bacteriophage phi24B
4 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Acquisition of new prophages that are able to increase the bacterial fitness by the lysogenic conversion is believed to be an important strategy of bacterial adaptation to the changing environment. However, in contrast to the factors determining the range of bacteriophage lytic activity, little is known about the factors that define the lysogenization host range. Bacteriophage phi24B is the paradigmal model of...
