Abstract
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen that is resistant to the most commonly used antibiotics. In this study, the Acinetobacter phage BUCT628 was isolated from hospital wastewater. BLASTn analysis showed that the genome sequence of BUCT628 shared 89.76% identity with 66% query coverage with that of Acinetobacter phage Bphi-R2919. Genome sequencing showed that the BUCT628 genome is a 44,935-bp linear dsDNA molecule with 37.5% G+C content and 86 open reading frames (ORFs), and no tRNAs were identified.
