Complete Genome Sequence of Burkholderia cenocepacia Phage Mica

Abstract

Burkholderia cenocepacia is a multidrug-resistant Gram-negative pathogen known to colonize patients with chronic granulomatous disease and cystic fibrosis. Here, we describe Burkholderia phage Mica, which is predicted to be a lysogenic myophage based on the similarity of its structural proteins to Enterobacteria phage P2 and Burkholderia phage KL3.

Characterisation of New Foxunavirus Phage Murka with the Potential of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris Control

“…A BLAST search using sequences of Murka’s sequences indicated that Foxunavirus phages were the closest relatives. The search also found related phages infecting bacteria, other than Xanthomonas , including Burkholderia phage Mica (genus Micavirus ) [ 60 ], Achromobacter phage Mano (genus Manovirus ) [ 61 ], Acinetobacter phage Alexa (unclassified), Escherichia phage vB_EcoM-ep3 (genus Jilinvirus ) [ 62 ], and Serratia phage MQ-4 (unclassified) [ 63 ]. The results of comparative genome alignment showed a similarity of genomic organization between these phages, Foxunavirus phages, and phage Murka ( Figure 6 ).…”
