Several case reports demonstrated clinical application of phage in resolving infections caused by MDR bacteria in recent years. ResultsWe isolated a new phage, vB_ShiP-A7, and then investigated its characteristics. Phage vB_ShiP-A7 is a member of Podoviridae that has an icosahedral spherical head and a short tail. vB_ShiP-A7 has large burst size and short replication time. vB_ShiP-A7’s genome is linear do… Show more
