Abstract

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteriophage IME13 is a virulent phage with a large burst size, exceeding 3,000, much larger than that of any other stenotrophomonas phage reported before. It showed effective lysis of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. Additionally, the phage IME13 developed at least three obviously different sizes of plaques when a single plaque was picked out and inoculated on a double-layer Luria broth agar plate with its host. Here we announce its complete genome and describe major findings from its annotation.
