Genomic organization and molecular characterization of SM1, a temperate bacteriophage of Streptococcus mitis.

abstract：:Pseudomonas aeruginosa and members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex often coexist in both the soil and the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. To gain an understanding of how these different species affect each other's physiology when coexisting, we performed a screen to identify P. aeruginosa genes that are induced...
