Complete genome sequence of the broad-host-range Paenibacillus larvae phage phiIBB_Pl23

摘要

Paenibacillus larvae is a Gram-positive bacterium that causes American foulbrood, an important disease in apiculture. We reportthe first complete genome sequence of a P. larvae phage, phiIBB_Pl23, isolated from a hive in northern Portugal. Thisphage belongs to the family Siphoviridae.
