Streptococcus pyogenes Φ1207.3 Is a Temperate Bacteriophage Carrying the Macrolide Resistance Gene Pair mef(A)-msr(D) and Capable of Lysogenizing Different Streptococci
ABSTRACT Streptococcus pyogenes prophage Φ1207.3 (formerly Tn1207.3) carries the mef(A)-msr(D) resistance genes, responsible for type M macrolide resistance. To investigate if Φ1207.3 is a functional bacteriophage, we transferred the element from the original S. pyogenes host in a prophage-free and...
