# Complete genome sequence of vB_PaBD_211, a lytic Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage isolated from poultry sewage in Bangladesh

## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequence of a bacteriophage that infects Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from poultry sewage in Bangladesh.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the complete genome sequence and analysis of a new lytic phage with potential therapeutic use.

## Key findings

- The phage vB_PaBD_211 has a 43,381 bp double-stranded DNA genome.
- The genome lacks virulence or antibiotic resistance genes, supporting its safety for therapeutic use.

## Abstract

A lytic bacteriophage, vB_PaBD_211, targeting Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from poultry sewage in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The 43,381 bp double-stranded DNA genome was sequenced using Illumina MiSeq and assembled de novo. The genomic features, absence of virulence or antibiotic resistance genes, and lytic nature suggest its suitability for phage-based therapeutic applications.
