The discovery of phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) in Gram-negative bacteria

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) are highly mobile phage satellites that are intimately related to certain helper phages, whose life cycle they parasitise for their transfer to another bacterial hosts. As they encode virulence and fitness factors, this dissemination contributes to bacterial evolution, host adaptation and pathogenesis. During the last two decades, the relationship between SaPIs a...
