Isolation and characterization of a lytic bacteriophage φKp-lyy15 of Klebsiella pneumoniae

Dear Editor,Bacteriophages(phages)are viruses that specifically infect and kill bacteria.They are ubiquitous throughout all environments that bacteria inhabit.Following their discovery by F.W.Twort in 1915 and F.d’Herele in 1917,bacteriophages were recognized as potential agents to treat bacterial diseases and phage therapy has been used

Genome Sequence of Lactobacillus johnsonii Strain W1, Isolated from Mice.

ABSTRACT Lactobacillus johnsonii, a member of the gut lactobacilli, plays an important role in normal gut functioning. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of L. johnsonii strain W1 isolated from ICR mice.

Complete Genome Sequence of Lytic Bacteriophage LZ35 Infecting Acinetobacter baumannii Isolates

ABSTRACT Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that is frequently associated with nosocomial infections. Bacteriophages infecting A. baumannii can be used as effective agents to control these infections. Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of the lytic bacteriophage LZ35 infecting A. baumannii isolates.

Complete Genome Sequence of the Siphoviral Bacteriophage Ec-ZZ2, Which Is Capable of Lysing Enterococcus faecium

ABSTRACT A virulent bacteriophage (Ec-ZZ2) that infects Enterococcus faecium was isolated from sewage. The bacteriophage belongs to the family Siphoviridae and has a linear double-stranded DNA genome, with a length of 41,170 bp and a 34.59% G+C content, which is highly similar to Enterococcus phage IME-EF4.

Complete Genome Sequence of the Myoviral Bacteriophage YS35, Which Causes the Lysis of a Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain

ABSTRACT The lytic bacteriophage YS35, which is capable of lysing multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, was isolated from a sewage sample. Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of this myoviral bacteriophage, which contains 93,296 bp of double-stranded DNA and has a 49.4% G+C content.

Complete Genome Sequence of Bacteriophage SM9-3Y Infecting Serratia marcescens

ABSTRACT Serratia marcescens is an important opportunistic organism that causes nosocomial infections. Bacteriophage therapy has the potential to control S. marcescens infection. We present here the complete genome sequence of a lytic S. marcescens bacteriophage, SM9-3Y, which is a linear double-stranded DNA genome of 39,631 bp with 50.7% G+C content.

Complete Genome Sequence of ZG49, a T7-Like Bacteriophage Lytic to Escherichia coli Isolates

ABSTRACT Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of the Escherichia coli bacteriophage ZG49, isolated from a sewage sample. ZG49 is a linear double-stranded DNA T7-like podophage, with a genome of 40,291 bp, containing 44 predicted open reading frames.
