- Abstract
A Serratia rubidaea phage, vB_Sru IME250, was isolated from hospital sewage. The morphology suggested that phage vB_Sru IME250 should be classified as a member of the family Myoviridae. High-throughput sequencing revealed that the phage genome has 154,938 nucleotides and consists of 193 coding DNA sequences, 90 of which have putative functions. The genome of vB_Sru IME250 is a linear, double-stranded DNA with an average GC content of 40.04%. The phage has a relatively high similarity to Klebsiella phage 0507-KN2-1, with a genome coverage of 84%.
