Insights into Diversity, Host-Range, and Temporal Stability of <i>Bacteroides</i> and <i>Phocaeicola</i> Prophages
2024-10-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Phages are critical components of the gut microbiome, influencing bacterial composition and function as predators, parasites, and modulators of bacterial phenotypes. Prophages, integrated forms of these phages, are prevalent in many bacterial genomes and play a role in bacterial adaptation and evolution. However, the diversity and stability of prophages within gut commensals, particularly in t...
