RESUMO

Bacteriophages are abundant in the environment, yet the vast majority have not been discovered or described. Many characterized bacteriophages infect a small subset of Enterobacteriaceae hosts. Despite its similarity to Escherichia coli, the pathogenic Shigella flexneri has relatively few known phages, which exhibit significant differences from many E. coli phages. This suggests that isolating additional Shigella phages is necessary to further explore these differences. To address questions of novelty and prevalence, high school students isolated bacteriophages on non-pathogenic strains of enteric bacteria. Results indicate that Shigella phages are abundant in the environment and continue to differ significantly from E. coli phages. Our findings suggest that Shigella-infecting members of the Ounavirinae subfamily continue to be over-represented and show surprisingly low diversity within and between sampling sites. Additionally, a podophage with distinct genomic and structural properties suggests that continued isolation on non-model species of bacteria is necessary to truly understand bacteriophage diversity.
