Prophage rates in the human microbiome vary by body site and host health

2023-05-05

Abstract excerpt

Phages integrated into a bacterial genome–called prophages–continuously monitor the health of the host bacteria to determine when to escape the genome, protect their host from other phage infections, and may provide genes that promote bacterial growth. Prophages are essential to almost all microbiomes, including the human microbiome. However, most human microbiome studies focus on bacteria, ignoring free and integ...
