ABSTRACT
More and more virulent phages that are fundamental materials for phage therapy have been isolated, characterized and categorized on GenBank. Phage ST31 infecting Escherichia coli H21 was isolated from wastewater and sequenced using an Illumina Hiseq system. Opening reading frames were identified using PHASTER and predicted using BLASTp analysis. Genomic analyses revealed that this was a virulent phage containing a circular double-stranded DNA and that the complete genome consisted of 39,693 nucleotides with an average GC content of 49.98 %. This study may provide possible alternative materials for phage therapy.
