Category:Cryptic Prophage
A cryptic prophage is a non-plaque-forming, defective prophage that is stably integrated into the bacterial chromosome. The remaining genes lie in a contiguous group and often provide nutritional benefits or immunity to other phage. Additionally, cryptic prophage genes can be associated with pathogenesis and virulence factors.
