Genome-guided isolation and characterization of a novel bacteriophage infecting Escherichia coli reveal a putative new genus
We have isolated and characterized a novel bacteriophage termed Jab, with lytic activity against multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Escherichia coli. Phage Jab was identified from liquid manure by means of metagenome sequencing of a phage community enrichment using an E. coli clinical isolate ECH07 as host. The i...
