Seven Bacteriophages Isolated from the Female Urinary Microbiota

Genome Announc. 2016 Nov 23;4(6):e01003-16. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.01003-16.

Abstract

Recent research has debunked the myth that urine is sterile, having uncovered bacteria within the bladders of healthy individuals. However, the identity, diversity, and putative roles of bacteriophages in the bladder are unknown. We report the draft genome sequences of seven bacteriophages isolated from microbial communities from adult female bladders.
