Isolation and genome sequencing of five lytic bacteriophages from hospital wastewater in the Philippines.

Here, we report the genome sequences of five bacteriophages isolated from hospital wastewater, including two new species and two candidates for therapeutic application. No virulence, temperate marker and antibiotic resistance genes were found in the genomes of phage vB_VIPECOOM03 and phage vB_VIPKPNUMC01, making them suitable candidate for therapy.
