Characterization of the cluster MabR prophages of <i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i> and <i>Mycobacterium chelonae</i>

2022-04-28

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium abscessus is an emerging pathogen of concern in cystic fibrosis and immunocompromised patients and is considered one of the most drug-resistant mycobacteria. The majority of clinical M. abscessus isolates carry one or more prophages that are hypothesized to contribute to virulence and bacterial fitness. The prophage McProf was identified in the genome of the Bergey strain of M. chelonae , and is di...
