Abstract

Bacteriophage OSYSP is a new anti-Escherichia coli O157:H7 phage isolated from municipal wastewater in Ohio. OSYSP is potent against enterohemorrhagic E. coli and is a candidate biocontrol agent for food and therapeutic applications. In this paper, we present the important genetic features of this phage based on its complete genome sequence.
