Lysogenic Conversion by a Filamentous Phage Encoding Cholera Toxin
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The emergence of toxigenic V. cholerae involves horizontal gene transfer that may depend on in vivo gene expression, and is shown here to be encoded by a filamentous bacteriophage (designated CTXΦ), which is related to coliphage M13.
