Chicken colibacillosis is caused by some pathogenicEscherichia coli strains. Thirty-five pathogenic antibiotic-resistantE. coli strains were used in the host range detection of bacteriophage Bp7. The phage showed a wide range ofE. coli hosts (46%). The complete genome of bacteriophage Bp7 was sequenced, assembled, and analyzed. The results revealed a linear double-stranded DNA sequence of 168,066 bp harboring 791 open reading frames. The major findings from its annotation are described.
