Whole Genome Sequence of a Novel Bacteriophage APT65 Infecting Aeromonas hydrophila.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Aeromonas hydrophila is a prevalent pathogenic bacterium in aquaculture that causes economic loss around the world. Antimicrobials are used to control and prevent the incidence of bacterial pathogens in aquaculture. However, they lead to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance strains and the accumulation of antibiotic residues in fish tissue. To address these issues, bacteriophages may be promising alternatives to many antibiotics in combating bacterial infections in aquaculture.

Materials and methods

The phage specific to A. hydrophila was isolated from domestic wastewater. The morphology of phages was analyzed using transmission electron microscopy. The genomic DNA of the Aeromonas phage T65 strain (APT65) phage was sequenced with a paired-end r
