Abstract
A lytic Proteus mirabilis phage, PmP19, was isolated from sewage on a farm. PmP19 has an icosahedral head (60 ± 3 nm in diameter) and a short tail (15 ± 2 nm long). Its genome, a linear, double-stranded DNA molecule 44,305 bp in length with an average GC content of 51.93%, has 52 putative open reading frames (ORFs). BLASTn comparisons and phylogenetic analysis revealed a close relationship between Pmp19 and Klebsiella phage vB_KpnP_ZK1. Bioinformatic analysis revealed that PmP19 belongs to the phage subfamily Molineuxvirinae.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Virology publishes original contributions from all branches of research on viruses, virus-like agents, and virus infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and bacteria. Coverage spans a broad spectrum of topics, from descriptions of newly discovered viruses, to studies of virus structure, composition, and genetics, to studies of virus interactions with host cells, organisms and populations. Studies employ molecular biologic, molecular genetics, and current immunologic and epidemiologic approaches. Contents include studies on the molecular pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and genetics of virus infections in individual hosts, and studies on the molecular epidemiology of virus infections in populations. Also included are studies involving applied research such as diagnostic technology development, monoclonal antibody panel development, vaccine development, and antiviral drug development.Archives of Virology wishes to publish obituaries of recently deceased well-known virologists and leading figures in virology.
