Bacteriophage P2, scientific name Peduovirus P2 (formerly Escherichia virus P2), [1] is a temperate phage that infects E. coli. It is a tailed virus with a contractile sheath and is thus …

Mar 16, 2016 · P2 is the original member of a highly successful family of temperate phages that are frequently found in the genomes of gram-negative bacteria. This article focuses on the …

We identified 9371 tailed phage prophages of 20 known types in reported complete genome sequences of 3298 bacteria in the Salmonella genus. These include 4758 P2 type and 744 …

Our study provides the first evidence that engineering the P2 tail fiber can extend the host range toward novel proteinaceous receptors, thus opening new potential applications for “designer …

Bacteriophage P4 is a satellite phage that relies on the P2-related helper phage for lytic replication. (20) The P4 δ activates P2 late genes, (21) while ε activates lytic replication of P2 …

Bacteriophage P2 belongs to a group of bacteriophages found in E. coli and other hosts referred to as the P2-like bacteriophages, that also includes phage 186 [29] and Salmonella phage …

Here, we discovered a P2-family prophage integrated at the 3'-end of ssrA in the deep-sea bacterium S. putrefaciens. We found that ~0.1% of host cells are lysed to release P2 …

By this process, a P2 phage infecting a P4 lysogen is capable of inducing replication of the P4 genome, an example of viral transactivation. In this report, we present evidence that Cox is …

P2 is the original member of a highly successful family of temperate phages that are frequently found in the genomes of gram-negative bacteria. This article focuses on the organization of …

Oct 21, 2022 · Here, we re-engineered the Escherichia coli phage P2 to alter its tropism toward pathogenic bacteria. Chimeric tail fibers formed between P2 and S16 genes were designed …
