DNA-damaging bacteriocins from human <i>Escherichia coli</i> intestinal isolates trigger prophage induction and promote lysogeny

2026-05-27

Abstract excerpt

Lysogens - bacteria harbouring prophages - are prevalent in the human gut microbiota. Nevertheless, factors triggering induction or repression of prophages remain poorly characterized. Here, we studied the involvement of bacteriocins - antibacterials involved in bacteria-bacteria competition – in prophage induction. We screened a collection of 1,768 fecal Escherichia coli isolates for bacteriocin-producing strain...
