Complete genome sequences of <i>Escherichia coli</i> phages Huey, Dewey, and Louie
Bacteriophages Huey, Dewey, and Louie are new viruses infecting <i>Escherichia coli</i> K-12 that target its O16-type O-antigen as the host receptor. We report the genomes of these phages, which are 38,575, 40,352, and 38,040 bp in size. These viruses belong to the <i>Lederbergvirus</i> genus of podoviruses, similar to the well-studied model phage P22, which infects <i>Salmonella</i> Typhimurium.
