Citrobacter freundii is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for many urinary tract infections acquired in hospitals and is thus a concern for public health. C. freundii phage Stevie might prove beneficial as a treatment against these infections. The complete genome of Stevie and its key features are described here.
As an opportunistic pathogen, Citrobacter freundii is involved in a wide spectrum of nosocomial infections. C. freundii phages may prove useful as therapeutics for treating infections caused by multidrug-resistant C. freundii strains. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of C. freundii siphophage Sazh, which is closely related to Enterobacteria phages T1 and TLS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
