Mycobacteriophages are viruses that infect mycobacterial hosts. The current collection of sequenced mycobacteriophages-all isolated on a single host strain, Mycobacterium smegmatis mc(2)155, reveals substantial genetic diversity. The complete genome sequences of 63 newly isolated mycobacteriophages expand the resolution of our understanding of phage diversity.
分枝杆菌噬菌体是感染分枝杆菌宿主的病毒。目前已测序的分枝杆菌噬菌体文库——所有噬菌体均从单一宿主菌株耻垢分枝杆菌mc(2)155中分离得到——显示出丰富的遗传多样性。63个新分离的分枝杆菌噬菌体的全基因组序列扩展了我们对噬菌体多样性的理解分辨率。
