Relatedness of Gardnerella prophages and their endolysins

The Gardnerella genus includes a complex sub-taxonomy of bacterial species and subgroups which have been implicated in bacterial vaginosis. We analyzed G. leopoldii, G. swidsinski, G. piotii, and G. vaginalis genomes available in public databases and predicted proviral sequences using Cenote-Taker3. We clustered 266 prophage sequences into 140 viral genera level groupings that encode four…
