We have recently reported the activeHelicobacter pyloribacteriophages (phages), KHP30 and KHP40, the genomic DNAs of which exist as episomes in host bacterial strains isolated in Japan (i.e. pseudolysogeny). In this study, we examined the possibility of the lysogeny of active KHP30-like phages in JapaneseH. pyloristrains, because their genomes contain a putative integrase gene. Only the NY40 strain yielded partial detection of a KHP30-like prophage sequence in PCR among 174 JapaneseH. pyloriisolates, except for strains producing the above active phages. Next, according to the genomic analysis of the NY40 strain, the KHP30-like prophage sequence was found to be located from ca. 524 to 549 kb in the host chromosome. The attachment sites,attLandattR, in the NY40 genome showed almost the same genomic location and sequence as those detected in a French isolate B38, suggesting that an active parental KHP30-like phage had integrated into the ancestral NY40 genome in a site-specific manner. The prophage found in the NY40 genome was assumed to have been genetically modified, after site-specific integration. These, together with the data in the KHP30-like prophages of otherH. pylorigenomes, suggest that the lysogenic state of the KHP30-like phages is generally unstable.
