Complete Genome Sequence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Siphophage Silvanus.

ABSTRACT: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an opportunistic Gram-negative bacterium capable of causing respiratory infections. S. maltophilia siphophage Silvanus was isolated, and its 45,678-bp genome is not closely related to known phages based on whole-genome comparative genomics analysis. It is predicted to use cos-type packaging due to the similarity of its large terminase subunit to that of phage HK97.
