AI Article Synopsis

  • Escherichia coli is a common bacterial pathogen found in birds.
  • This study sequenced two specific bacteriophages, ECBP1 and ECBP2, that infect different E. coli strains.
  • The bacteriophages could potentially serve as therapeutic agents when used alongside alternative antibiotics.

Article Abstract

Escherichia coli is recognized as one of the most abundant avian bacterial pathogens. In this study, we report the sequencing by the traditional Sanger method of ECBP1 and ECBP2: bacteriophages that infected two different E. coli strains which might be used as therapeutic agents in combination with alternative antibiotics.
