Abstract:

Abstract:Streptococcus suis (S. suis) is an important zoonosis and pathogen that can carry prophages．In this review，we focus on the recent advances in our understanding of lytic phage and lysogenic phage of S. suis，including the morphology of S. suis lytic phage，the functions of lysin and terminase large subunit encoded by S. suis lytic phage，comparative genomics of S. suis prophages，lysogenic conversion between S． suis lytic phage and prophage．Furthermore，prospective evolution of interactions between phage and host was discussed．
