Abstract
Widely studied Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strains ATCC 14028s and SL1344 harbor a cryptic ST64B prophage unable to produce infectious virions.

Active phage originates from reversion of a +1 frameshift mutation at a monotonous G:C run in a presumptive tail assembly pseudogene.Entities:
