Closely related <i>Vibrio alginolyticus</i> strains encode an identical repertoire of prophages and filamentous phages
2019-11-30
Abstract excerpt
Filamentous vibriophages represent a massive repertoire of virulence factors which can be transferred across species boundaries, leading to the emergence of deadly pathogens. All filamentous vibriophages that were characterized until today were isolated from human pathogens. Considering frequent horizontal gene transfer among vibrios, we predict that other environmental isolates, including non-human pathogens also...
