Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Two Novel Lytic Bacteriophages for the Biocontrol of <i>Escherichia coli</i> in Uterine Infections: In Vitro and Ex Vivo Preliminary Studies in Veterinary Medicine

Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Two Novel Lytic Bacteriophages for the Biocontrol of <i>Escherichia coli</i> in Uterine Infections: In Vitro and Ex Vivo Preliminary Studies in Veterinary Medicine

<i>E. coli</i> is one of the etiological agents responsible for pyometra in female dogs, with conventional treatment involving ovariohysterectomy. Here, we report the isolation and full characterization of two novel lytic phages, viz. vB_EcoM_Uniso11 (ph0011) and vB_EcoM_Uniso21 (ph0021)...
