Genome Sequences of Four Potentially Therapeutic Bacteriophages Infecting Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli.


ABSTRACT: Four phages infecting Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains of different serotypes were isolated from wastewater samples. Their virion DNAs range from 51 to 170 kbp, are circularly permuted or have defined terminal repeats, and can encode 82 to 279 proteins. Despite their high similarity to other phages, only about 30% of their genes have a predicted function.
