Abstract EN
Bacterial whole genome sequencing has delivered an abundance of prophage sequences as a by-product and the analysis of these sequences revealed ways in which phages have affected the genome of their host bacteria in various bacterial species.
The aim of this study was to identify the phage-related sequences in the draft assembly of the Avibacterium paragallinarum genome, the causative agent of infectious coryza in poultry.
Whole genome assembly was not possible due to the presence of gaps and/or repeats existent on the ends of contigs.
However, genome annotation revealed prophage and prophage remnant sequences present in this genome.
From the results obtained, a complete Mu-like bacteriophage could be identified that was termed AvpmuC-2M.
A complete sequence of HP2-like bacteriophage, named AvpC-2M-HP2, was also identified.
