Abstract
ABSTRACTBacteriophage St11Ph5 was isolated from a sewage sample on a particularly phage-resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) up11 host strain. It appeared to be closely related to bacteriophage G7C, isolated from horse feces; however, it carries a highly divergent host recognition module.
Highlights
Bacteriophage St11Ph5 was isolated from a sewage sample on a phage-resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) up11 host strain
The genome of St11Ph5 was highly related to that of phage G7C, with a nucleotide identity level of 92% over about 78% of the genomes, aligned by the blastN algorithm
The group of N4-related phages currently has no official taxonomic status adopted by the International Committee on Virus Taxonomy (ICTV)
Summary
Bacteriophage St11Ph5 was isolated from a sewage sample on a phage-resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) up11 host strain. The genome of St11Ph5 was highly related to that of phage G7C, with a nucleotide identity level of 92% over about 78% of the genomes, aligned by the blastN algorithm (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). This allowed us to identify phage St11Ph5 as a member of the genus G7cvirus.
