Complete genome sequence of a <i>Streptococcus equi</i> subsp. <i>equi</i> bacteriophage isolated from raw sewage water in Tokyo
We have determined the complete genome sequence of a bacteriophage infecting <i>Streptococcus equi</i> subsp. <i>equi</i>, the causal agent of strangles in members of the family Equidae. This phage was isolated from wastewater and shows high similarity to C1 phage infecting other <i>Streptococcus</i> species.
