Widespread distribution of prophage-encoded virulence factors in marine Vibrio communities

Widespread distribution of prophage-encoded virulence factors in marine Vibrio communities

Prophages are known to encode important virulence factors in the human pathogen Vibrio cholerae. However, little is known about the occurrence and composition of prophage-encoded traits in environmental vibrios. A database of 5,674 prophage-like elements constructed from 1,874 Vibrio genome sequence...
