Pseudomonas aeruginosa maintains an inducible array of novel and diverse prophages over lengthy persistence in cystic fibrosis lungs.

In total, 2 of 15 transient lineages carry longitudinally persistent and induced prophages, while 9 of 9 persistent lineages carry such prophages, and a Fisher’s exact test indicates a highly significant association between inducible phage and persistence of lineage ( P < .0001).
