“…The variety of hosts (insects, plants, fish, birds, and human) and environments indicates the high metabolic capability of K. cowanii . From this point of view, K. cowanii seems to be a very promising bacteria for biotechnology purposes [ 34 ]. On the other hand, when the genome of K. cowanii type strain 888-76 T was sequenced, 23 genes responsible for antibiotic resistance as well as 262 genes predicted to be virulence genes were identified [ 3 ].…”

Kosakonia cowanii (syn. Enterobacter cowanii) is a highly competitive bacterium that lives with plant, insect, fish, bird, and human organisms. It is pathogenic on some plants and an opportunistic pathogen of human. Nine novel viruses that lyse plant pathogenic strains and/or human strains of K. cowanii were isolated, sequenced, and characterized. Kc166A is a novel kayfunavirus, Kc261 is a novel bonnellvirus, and Kc318 is a new cronosvirus (all Autographiviridae). Kc237 is a new sortsnevirus, but Kc166B and Kc283 are members of new genera within Podoviridae. Kc304 is a new winklervirus, and Kc263 and Kc305 are new myoviruses. The viruses differ in host specificity, plaque phenotype, and lysis kinetics. Some of them should be suitable also as pathogen control agents.
