12/111phiA Prophage Domestication Is Associated with Autoaggregation and Increased Ability to Produce Biofilm in <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i>

CC17 <i>Streptococcus agalactiae</i> carrying group-A prophages is increasingly responsible for neonatal infections. To investigate the impact of the genetic features of a group-A prophage, we first conducted an in silico analysis of the genome of 12/111phiA, a group-A prophage carried b...
