Prophage ΦESI promotes competitive dominance in the emergent <i>Salmonella</i> serovar Infantis lineage

2026-03-18

Abstract excerpt

The global spread of multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Infantis has been largely attributed to the pESI megaplasmid, yet additional factors underlying the ecological success of this lineage remain unclear. Here, we characterize ΦESI ( ph age of e mergent S almonella Infantis), a temperate bacteriophage discovered during coculture of an emergent pESI-positive strain (PM57) and a non-emergent stra...
