Prophage Carriage and Diversity within Clinically Relevant Strains of Clostridium difficile

Prophages are encoded in most genomes of sequenced Clostridium difficile strains. They are key components of the mobile genetic elements and, as such, are likely to influence the biology of their host strains. The majority of these phages are not amenable to propagation, and therefore the developmen...
