UPϕ phages, a new group of filamentous phages found in several members of <i>Enterobacteriales</i>
2019-12-28
Abstract excerpt
Filamentous phages establish chronic infections in their bacterial hosts, and new phages are secreted by infected bacteria for multiple generations, typically without causing host death. Often, these viruses integrate in their host’s genome by co-opting the host’s XerCD recombinase system. In several cases, these viruses also encode genes that increase bacterial virulence in plants and animals. Here, we describe a...
