Abstract

Mycobacteriophage phiT45-1 is a newly isolated bacteriophage spontaneously released from Mycobacterium abscessus strain Taiwan-45 that lytically infects M. abscessus strain BWH-C; phiT45-1 also infects M. abscessus ATCC 19977 but not Mycobacterium smegmatis Phage phiT45-1 has a 43,407-bp genome and carries a polymorphic toxin-immunity cassette associated with type VII secretion systems.
