Abstract excerpt
Multidrug-resistant members of the Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC) are increasingly linked to difficult-to-treat infections and biofilm-mediated antimicrobial tolerance. Here, two lytic phages, vB_EhoIP_HHH and vB_EluM_RZH, displaying podovirus-like and myovirus-like morphology, respectively, were isolated from the River Chelt. HHH has a 39,582 bp genome (51.2% GC, 63 ORFs), while RZH has a 174,197 bp genome...
