Prophage identification and molecular analysis in the genomes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from critical care patients

ABSTRACT Prophages are bacteriophages integrated into the bacterial host’s chromosome. This research aims to analyze and characterize the existing prophages within a collection of 53 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains from intensive care units (ICUs) in Portugal and Spain. A total of 113 prophages were...
