Streptococcus phage vB_SEEA3_AUVM_23KS1
Drug-resistant bacteria pose a significant threat. Phage therapy is regarded as a potential strategy to address this issue and studies on its application in horses have been conducted. Strangles is caused by Streptococcus equi subsp. equi, and a recent epidemiological survey reported that some strains have acquired resistance against key therapeutic agents. These circumstances highlight the need to isolate bacteriophages as potential candidates for phage therapy.
