contents With their ability to integrate into the bacterial chromosome and thereby transfer virulence or drug-resistance genes across bacterial species, temperate phage play a key role in bacterial evolution. Thus, it is paramount to understand who infects whom to be able to predict the movement of DNA across the prokaryotic world and ultimately the emergence of novel (drug-resistant) pathogens. We empirically investigated lytic infection patterns among Vibrio spp. from distinct phylogenetic clades and their derived temperate phage. We found that across distantly related clades, infections occur preferentially within modules of the same clade. However, when the genetic distance of the host bacteria decreases, these clade-specific infections disappear. This indicates that the structure of temperate phage–bacteria infection networks changes with the phylogenetic distance of the host bacteria. Further details describing the data: each file contains a binary phage-bacteria-infection matrix, where rows represent different bacteria and columns represent different phage isolates. A positive infection is denoted as 1.
