Prophage elements function as reservoir for antibiotic resistance and virulence genes in nosocomial pathogens

2020-11-25

Abstract excerpt

Prophages are often involved in host survival strategies and contribute toward increasing the genetic diversity of the host genome. Prophages also drive horizontal propagation of various genes as vehicles. However, there are few retrospective studies contributing to the propagation of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence factor (VF) genes by prophage. In this study, we extracted complete genome sequences o...
