Article Synopsis
- This study investigates and characterizes three new phages (83-24, JWX, and JWF) that target the pathogen Achromobacter xylosoxidans, found in sewage samples from Paris and Braunschweig.
- Morphological analysis shows that phages 83-24 and JWX have similar size and growth properties, while phage JWF has a distinctive longer and more flexible tail.
- Genomic sequencing indicates that phages JWX and 83-24 have closely related DNA, while JWF's genome shows limited similarities to other known phages and non-annotated prophage regions in certain bacterial strains.
Background: Multi-resistant Achromobacter xylosoxidans has been recognized as an emerging pathogen causing nosocomially acquired infections during the last years. Phages as natural opponents could be an alternative to fight such infections. Bacteriophages against this opportunistic pathogen were isolated in a recent study.

Here, a diverse set of 61 Achromobacter xylosoxidans strains was characterized by MultiLocus Sequence Typing and Phenotype MicroArray technology. The strains were further analyzed in regard to their susceptibility to 35 antibiotics and to 34 different and newly isolated bacteriophages from the environment.
