title: Complete Genome Sequence of the Broad-Host-Range Paenibacillus larvae Phage phiIBB_Pl23.
abstract: Paenibacillus larvae is a Gram-positive bacterium that causes American foulbrood, an important disease in apiculture. We report the first complete genome sequence of a P. larvae phage, phiIBB_Pl23, isolated from a hive in northern Portugal. This phage belongs to the family Siphoviridae.
