Abstract

We describe the genome of a lytic phage EAb13 isolated from sewage, with broad activity against multidrug-resistant . EAb13 is an unclassified siphovirus. Its genome consists of 82,411 bp, with 40.15% GC content, 126 protein-coding sequences, 1 tRNA, and 2,177 bp-long direct terminal repeats.
