Characterization of Achromobacter xylosoxidans phages from Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire
Sixteen bacteriophages of Achromobacter xylosoxidans distributed into four genera have been isolated from sewage water in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire using a single clinical strain, and their genome has been sequenced. Three podoviridae belonged to the phiKMV-like genus, and represent the first A. xylosoxidans phages of this genus. Seven podoviridae, distributed into three groups, belonged to the N4-like genus. Among siphoviridae, three were septima3virus phages and YuA-like phages. The virulence of these phages toward a panel of 10 genetically diverse strains was tested. The phi-KMV-like phages show the broadest host range.
