Identification and Genomic Characterization of a Novel Teseptimavirus Species (vB_EcoP_S37A) and a Mosigvirus Phage (vB_EcoM_S37) Infecting Swine Extraintestinal Pathogenic Escherichia coli
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance in extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) necessitates alternative therapies for swine. Two lytic phages, vB_EcoM_S37 and vB_EcoP_S37A, were isolated from swine wastewater and characterized for morphology, stability, host range, antibacterial efficacy, and whole-ge...
