Induction of the filamentous prophage, Pf4, is conditionally regulated by PA3572 (difP) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen, often associated with airway infections in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Biofilms of many P. aeruginosa strains, such as PAO1, produce copious quantities of filamentous Pf4 phage. High titres of P...
