A prophage is a bacteriophage (often shortened to `phage`) genome inserted and integrated into the circular bacterial DNA chromosome or existing as an extrachromosomal plasmid. This is a latent form of a phage, in which the viral genes are present in the bacterium without causing disruption of the bacterial cell. Upon detection of host cell dama.....
