Abstract

Here we report a novel virulent P2-like bacteriophage R18C isolated from rabbit faeces, which, additionally to Escherichia coli K-12 strains, was able to propagate on Citrobacter rodentium strain ICC169 and a range of Shigella sonnei with high efficiency of plating (EOP). It represents the first lytic bacteriophage originated from rabbit and the first infective P2-like phage of animal origin. In the three characteristic moron-harboring regions of P2-like phages, R18C harbors genes with unknown function, which have been only found in cryptic P2-like prophages up to date.
