Smaller Genomes and Shorter Prophage Sequences Differentiate Clinical from Environmental Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Robert W. Targ, Patrick M. Blankenberg, Zachary Flamholz, Julie D. Pourtois, Niaz Banaei, Elizabeth B. Burgener, Carlos E. Milla, Paul L. Bollyky

This study compares genome features of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from cystic fibrosis patients and environmental sources, finding smaller genomes and shorter prophage sequences in clinical isolates.
