The Biofilm Life-Cycle and Virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are Dependent on a Filamentous Prophage

Mature Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms undergo specific developmental events. Using a bacteriophage mutant, generated by deletion of the entire filamentous Pf4 prophage, we show that the phage is essential for several stages of the biofilm life-cycle and that it significantly contributes to the viru...
