RESUMO
Staphylococcus epidermidis is an opportunistic pathogen that commonly colonizes human skin and mucous membranes. We report here the complete genome sequences of three S. epidermidis phages, Quidividi, Terranova, and Twillingate, which are members of the Twort-like group of large myophages infecting Gram-positive hosts.
RESUMO
Multiple antimicrobial-resistant strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Newport have been recorded. Study on phages infecting S. Newport may provide new therapeutics or diagnostics for this pathogen. Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of the T4-like phage Melville that uses S. Newport as one of its hosts.
RESUMO
Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is a Gram-negative bacterium and one of the most common foodborne pathogens. Biocontrol using bacteriophage in food products or animals is one possible means by which pathogenic salmonellosis infection could be inhibited. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the T4-like Salmonella Enteritidis myophage Mooltan.
RESUMO
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative bacterium associated with the gastrointestinal tract and is a significant nosocomial pathogen due to its antibiotic resistance. Phage therapy against K. pneumoniae may prove useful in treating infections caused by this bacterium. This announcement describes the genome of the T5-like K. pneumoniae siphophage Sugarland.
