Characterization of a lytic EBP bacteriophage with large size genome against Enterobacter cloacae

Enterobacter cloacae (E. cloacae) is an emerging nosocomial pathogen that had acquired antibiotic resistance against multiple classes of antibiotics. The current study was aimed to isolate and characterize lytic bacteriophage against E . cloacae . The bacteriophage EBP was isolated from a sewage water sample using E. cloacae as a host strain by double‐layer agar technique. EBP was found stabile at a wide range of temperatures (25, 37, 60, and...
