The phi027 Bacteriophage Influences Physiology and Virulence of the Lysogenic Strain of <em>Clostridioides difficile</em>
2024-10-03
Abstract excerpt
Clostridioides difficile, the causative agent of C. difficile infections (CDI), can be naturally infected by bacterial viruses known as bacteriophages. All characterized bacteriophages of this bacterium are temperate, meaning that upon infection their genetic material integrates and replicates with host’s genome. Such lysogenic strains can exhibit altered physiology and virulence, which in turn can be an important...
