The prevalence and impact of lysogeny among oral isolates of Enterococcus faecalis

The prevalence and impact of lysogeny among oral isolates of Enterococcus faecalis

Bacterial phenotypic properties are frequently influenced by the uptake of extrachromosomal genetic elements, such as plasmids and bacteriophage genomes. Such modifications can result in enhanced pathogenicity due to toxin production, increased toxin release, altered antigenicity, and resistance to...
