Extensive hidden prophage diversity in Enterobacter species reveals host specificity and local distribution.

Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophages are key drivers of bacterial evolution, particularly through their integration as prophages within host genomes. However, the diversity and host specificity of prophages in relevant pathogens such as Enterobacter species remain poorly characterized. In this study, we revealed the diversity of prophages, mapped their distribution and explored their relationships with their bacterial hosts. We...
