Abstract

We describe the genome of a lytic phage isolated from sewage, which is capable of lysing ST2 KL104-type carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains. The genome is 167,208 bp in length, has a guanine-cytosine (GC) content of 37%, and includes 266 protein-coding sequences and five tRNAs.

Keywords: Acinetobacter baumannii; capsular polysaccharide; carbapenem resistance; phage; phage therapy.
