Characterization of two novel bacteriophages infecting clinical isolates of <i>Serratia</i> spp. and therapeutic efficacy in a <i>Galleria mellonella</i> model of infection
Sm10b_1 and Sm12 represent novel lytic phages with broad host ranges against clinical isolates of the genus Serratia. Sm10b_1 was found to be highly effective at treating experimental infections caused by S. marcescens and S. odorifera.
