“…The non-phage elements B1_2_phi4 and MA_2_phi4 yielded no significant BLAST hit against a phage but matched against C. difficile plasmids. Both matching plasmids belong to classes of C. difficile plasmids with similar organization that are present in diverse C. difficile strains ( Smits et al, 2018 ; Roseboom et al, 2023 ). All these plasmids might therefore likewise be inducible and particle-protected, which implies a different mechanism of HGT than currently assumed.…”

“…Prophage regions predicted by PHASTEST (Wishart et al, 2023) are highlighted (intact = green, incomplete = pink). Smits et al, 2018;Roseboom et al, 2023). All these plasmids might therefore likewise be inducible and particle-protected, which implies a different mechanism of HGT than currently assumed.…”
