Oliveira, Hugo Alexandre Mendes; Santos, Sílvio Roberto Branco; Pires, Diana Priscila Penso; Boeckaerts, Dimitri; Pinto, Graça; Domingues, RitaCitrobacter koseri is an emerging Gram-negative bacterial pathogen, which causes urinary tract infections. We isolated and characterized a novel S16-like myovirus CKP1 (vB\_CkoM\\_CkP1), infecting C. koseri. CkP1 has a host range covering the whole C. koseri species, i.e., all strains that were tested, but does not infect other species. Its linear 168,463-bp genome contains 291 coding sequences, sharing sequenc...

Oliveira, Hugo Alexandre Mendes; Santos, Sílvio Roberto Branco; Pires, Diana P.; Pinto, Graça; Domingues, Rita; Briers, Yves; Schmelcher, MathiasCitrobacter spp. is an emerging Gram-negative bacterial pathogen. The genus is currently divided in several species, being Citrobacter koseri (formerly named Citrobacter diversus) one of the most common isolated species in human clinical specimens. C. koseri can cause localized (urinary track, wounds infection, pneumonia, meningitis) and systemic life-threatening diseases (bacteremia, septicemia), being neonate...
