MQM1, a bacteriophage infecting strains of Aeromonas salmonicida subspecies salmonicida carrying Prophage 3.

Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida is a Gam-negative bacterium responsible for furunculosis in fish. Because this aquatic bacterial pathogen has a rich reservoir of antibiotic-resistant genes, it is essential to investigate antibacterial alternatives, including the use of phages.
