Complete Genome Sequence of Escherichia coli Myophage Minorna.

The Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli causes many diseases, and antibiotic resistance has become a problem for their treatment. Bacteriophages may present a viable treatment alternative. Here, the complete genome sequence of E. coli-infecting myophage Minorna is presented. Proteins needed for replication, morphogenesis, and lysis were identified in the Minorna coding sequence.
