The genomic and phylogenetic characterization of lytic <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> PAK bacteriophages BL4, BL6, and BL7 collected from aquatic samples
Environmental phages infecting <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> PAK, an opportunistic pathogen, were isolated from playa lakes in Lubbock, TX. We present the genome sequence of three lytic bacteriophages. Upon analysis of sequence similarity, we identified the viruses as a part of an unclassified species within the genus <i>Pbunavirus</i> in the <i>Caudoviricetes</i> class.
