Prophages and satellite prophages are widespread among <i>Streptococcus</i> species and may play a role in pneumococcal pathogenesis

2018-12-20

Abstract excerpt

Prophages (viral genomes integrated within a host bacterial genome) are abundant within the bacterial world and are of interest because they often confer various phenotypic traits to their hosts, such as by encoding genes that increase pathogenicity. Satellite prophages are ‘parasites of parasites’ that rely on the bacterial host and another helper prophage for survival. We analysed >1,300 genomes of 70 different...
