The genomic and phylogenetic characterization of lytic PAK bacteriophages BL4, BL6, and BL7 collected from aquatic samples.

Environmental phages infecting PAK, an opportunistic pathogen, were isolated from playa lakes in Lubbock, TX. We present the genome sequence of three lytic bacteriophages. Upon analysis of sequence similarity, we identified the viruses as a part of an unclassified species within the genus in the class.
