Phages within bacteria: how resident prophages shape bacteriophage treatment

  Research Group: Microbiology and Infection
Most bacteria, including those that cause disease, carry phage genomes called prophages integrated within their chromosomes. These resident phages can alter bacterial fitness, virulence, physiology and susceptibility to other phages that their host encounters. Read more
