Genomic Analysis Unveils the Pervasiveness and Diversity of Prophages Infecting <i>Erwinia</i> Species

Prophages are abundant elements integrated into bacterial genomes and contribute to inter-strain genetic variability and, in some cases, modulate the environmental behavior of bacteria, such as pathogen virulence. Here, we described prophage occurrence and diversity in publicly available <i>Er...
