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 sequenc...
