Characterization and interstrain transfer of prophage pp3 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Characterization and interstrain transfer of prophage pp3 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Prophages are major contributors to horizontal gene transfer and drive the evolution and diversification of bacteria. Here, we describe the characterization of a prophage element designated pp3 in the clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolate PA1. pp3 spontaneously excises from the PA1 genome and circ...
