Only 3% of phage genomes in NCBI nucleotide database represent phages that are active against Streptococcus sp. With the aim to increase general awareness of phage diversity, we isolated two bacteriophages, Str01 and Str03, active against health-threatening Group A Streptococcus (GAS). Both phages are members of the Siphoviridae, but their analysis revealed that Str01 and Str03 do not belong to any known genus. We identified their structural proteins based on LC-ESI29 MS/MS and list their basic thermal stability and physico-chemical features including optimum pH. Annotated genomic sequences of the phages are deposited in GenBank (NCBI accession numbers KY349816 and KY363359, respectively).
在 NCBI 核苷酸数据库中,仅有 3%的噬菌体基因组代表了对链球菌属具有活性的噬菌体。为了提高人们对噬菌体多样性的普遍认识,我们分离到了两种针对健康威胁性 A 组链球菌(GAS)的噬菌体,Str01 和 Str03。这两种噬菌体均属于长尾噬菌体科,但分析表明 Str01 和 Str03 不属于任何已知属。我们根据 LC-ESI29 MS/MS 鉴定了它们的结构蛋白,并列出了它们的基本热稳定性和理化特性,包括最适 pH 值。噬菌体的注释基因组序列已分别存入 GenBank(NCBI 登录号为 KY349816 和 KY363359)。
