Timely excision of prophage Φ13 is essential for the <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> infectious process

2025-02-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Mobile genetic elements play an essential part in the infectious process of major pathogens, yet the role of prophage dynamics in Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis is still not well understood. Here we studied the impact of the Φ13 hlb- converting prophage, whose integration inactivates the hlb β-toxin gene, on staphylococcal pathogenesis. We showed that prophage Φ13 is lost in approximately...
