Abstract
Sixteen bacteriophages of Achromobacter xylosoxidans distributed into four genera have been isolated from sewage water in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, using a single clinical strain, and their genomes have been sequenced. Three podoviruses belonged to the genus Phikmvvirus, and these represent the first A. xylosoxidans phages of this genus. Seven podoviruses, distributed into three groups, belonged to the genus Jwalphavirus. Among the siphoviruses, three revealed similarities to Pseudomonas phage 73 and members of the genus Septimatrevirus, and three were YuA-like phages. The virulence of these phages toward a panel of 10 genetically diverse strains was tested, with the phiKMV-like phages showing the broadest host range.
