prophage

the prophage remained latent within the bacterial genome.

induction of the prophage can lead to phage replication.

lysogenic conversion occurs when a prophage integrates into the host dna.

researchers study prophage presence in various bacterial strains.

the prophage can influence bacterial virulence factors.

horizontal gene transfer is facilitated by prophage integration.

prophage excision triggers the lytic cycle of the phage.

some prophages carry genes for antibiotic resistance.

the prophage's location within the genome is often stable.

environmental factors can trigger prophage activation.

prophage-carrying bacteria can impact human health significantly.

the prophage lifecycle involves lysogeny and the lytic cycle.
