# Complete genome sequence of Escherichia coli phage Eryne

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a new Escherichia coli phage called Eryne and classifies it within a specific virus group.

## Contribution

The paper provides the complete genome sequence of a newly discovered E. coli phage and classifies it taxonomically.

## Key findings

- The genome of phage Eryne is 145,026 base pairs long.
- Eryne belongs to the genus Justusliebigvirus in the Stephanstirmvirinae subfamily.
- The phage targets surface glycans of Escherichia coli.

## Abstract

Bacteriophage Eryne is a new virus infecting clinical and laboratory strains of Escherichia coli that targets surface glycans. We report the 145,026 bp genome of phage Eryne and show that it belongs to the genus Justusliebigvirus of the Stephanstirmvirinae, known for their multivalent host recognition.
