Comparative Genomics of the Enterobacter cloacae Mobilome: Prophage Diversity and Anti-Phage Defense Systems in Phage Satellites
Enterobacter cloacae (E. cloacae) is an important healthcare-associated pathogen with increasing antimicrobial resistance. Prophages and phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) are integral components of the E. cloacae genome, yet their contribution to resistance, virulence, and anti-phage defense remains poorly un...
