Q

Both Shiga Toxins (type 1 and 2) are expressed on genes that are part of the “lambdoid prophages” genome. Why does that matter?

A

the use of certain antibiotics, such as quinolones, are known to induce prophage activation and may increase the seriousness of disease and result in fatal outcomes

(TL;DR: using antibiotics can trigger prophage activation and make the disease worse or fatal)
