Abstract

Prophages play a critical role in the evolution of their host species and can also contribute to the virulence and fitness of pathogenic species. Here, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of prophage sequences from 5,383 publicly available Pseudomonas aeruginosa genomes from human as well as environmental isolates.
