Abstract

Escherichia phage 590B, which was isolated from community sewage water in Chandigarh, India, exhibited lytic activity against an extensively drug-resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli isolate. The genome of the phage is linear, double stranded, and 44.39 kb long. Phage 590B is a member of the Siphoviridae family and is closest to phage vB_EcoS_XY2, which was isolated in China.
