Abstract The genome of Cronobacter sakazakii M1 phage named PF-CE2 was characterized in this work. And a new species named Cronobacter virus PF-CE2, in the Escherichia virus RB16 genus of the subfamily Tevenvirinae of the family Myoviridae was established. The Gp190 gene of phage PF-CE2 was first proposed to encode a bacteriophage-borne glycanase, which is capable of degrading fucose-containing exopolysaccharides produced by C. sakazakii M1. Further, the taxonomic status of eight additional phages was modified according to average nucleotide identity analysis. This finding provides a theoretical basis for subsequent heterologous expression of the phage PF-CE2 glycanase and provides an important reference for the preservation and sharing of these phages.

Abstract Mycobacterium chelonae infections usually resolve with adequate therapy. We report the case of an adolescent with a chronic and progressive M chelonae infection refractory to combined antimicrobial and surgical therapy. Whole genome sequence analysis of consecutive isolates distinguished reinfection from recurrence and contributed to the diagnosis of a factitious disorder.
