Complete Genome Sequence of Citrobacter freundii Myophage Maleficent.

Citrobacter freundii, a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family, has been linked to opportunistic infections in neonates and immunocompromised adults. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a T4-like myophage, Maleficent, which infects C. freundii.

Complete Genome Sequence of Citrobacter freundii Myophage Michonne.

Citrobacter freundii is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that causes dangerous infections such as neonatal meningitis. C. freundii also harbors antibiotic resistance, making phages infecting this host valuable tools. Here, we announce the complete genome of the C. freundii FelixO1-like myophage Michonne and describe its notable features.
