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.

Acinetobacter baumannii is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that is frequently associated with nosocomial infections. Bacteriophages infecting A. baumannii can be used as effective agents to control these infections. Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of the lytic bacteriophage LZ35 infecting A. baumannii isolates.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen and a leading cause of antibiotic-resistant nosocomial infections. The genome sequence of siphophage Skenny, which infects K. pneumoniae, is described here. Skenny encodes 78 genes and is closely related to Klebsiella phages KPN N141 and MezzoGao, which are T1-like phages.

Citrobacter freundiiis an opportunistic pathogen that can cause diarrhea, septicemia, meningitis, and urinary tract infections. We report here the complete genome sequence of C. freundii strain P10159, isolated from urine samples from a patient in China with esophageal carcinoma. The genome has 5,080,321 bp and 4,768 coding sequences, with a G+C content of 51.7%.

Citrobacter freundii is a nosocomial opportunistic pathogen that can cause urinary and bloodstream infections. Phage therapies against C. freundii may prove useful in treating infections caused by this ubiquitous bacterium. Here, we report the complete genome of a T4-like myophage, Maroon, that infects C. freundii.

ABSTRACT Citrobacter freundii is responsible for various opportunistic nosocomial infections. Phage therapies against C. freundii may prove useful in human medicine for treatment of infections caused by the ubiquitous bacteria. Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of the C. freundii Felix O1-like myophage Mijalis and present its features.
