Aims
To isolate and characterize a diversity of bacteriophages (phages) that infect the soilborne pathogen Rhodococcus equi.
Methods and Results
Twenty-seven phages were isolated from soil samples from geographically distinct locations using a ran... Read More about Isolation and characterization of soilborne virulent bacteriophages infecting the pathogen Rhodococcus equi.

We report on the characterization and genomic analysis of bacteriophage E3 isolated from soil and propagating in Rhodococcus equi strains. Phage E3 has a circular genome of 142 563 bp and is the first Myoviridae reported for the genus Rhodococcus and...
