Isolation, characterization and genomic analysis of vB‐AhyM‐AP1, a lytic bacteriophage infecting Aeromonas hydrophila

Aims Aeromonas hydrophila is a zoonotic pathogen displaying resistance to multiple antibiotics. Here, we aim to develop a candidate biocontrol agent against A. hydrophila. Methods and Results In this study, we isolated and characterized the phage vB‐AhyM‐AP1 from sewage. It showed lytic activity aga...

description Aims Aeromonas hydrophila is a zoonotic pathogen displaying resistance to multiple antibiotics. Here, we aim to develop a candidate biocontrol agent against A. hydrophila. Methods and Results In this study, we isolated and characterized the phage vB‐AhyM‐AP1 from sewage. It showed lytic activity against A. hydrophila strains. One‐step growth curve revealed that the latent period lasted for 40 min. The burst size of one lytic cycle was 1413 PFU per infected cell. Temperature stability studies showed that the phage vB‐AhyM‐AP1 was active over temperatures ranging from 4 to 45°C for 1 h. pH stability studies indicated that the phage remained active within a pH range of 5–10 after 24 h of incubation. Stability tests in salt solutions showed that the phage was stable at salinities ranging from 0·1 to 2%. The phage also showed stabilities in organic solvents when incubated for 10 min. The Illumina Hiseq sequencing of its genome indicated that the phage vB‐AhyM‐AP1was a jumbo phage with a genome size of 2, 54 490 bp and GC content of 40·3%. The phylogenetic analysis of the terminase large subunit and major capsid protein indicated that the phage closely clustered with other Tevenvirinae phages. The genome encoded 455 ORFs and 22 tRNAs. The phage resulted in a reduction of 0·8 log units of viable A. hydrophila cells in biofilms grown on PVC coupons maintained in a low nutrient medium for 10 days. Conclusions The phage showed lytic activity against planktonic and biofilm cells of A. hydrophila. Genome‐based prediction showed it to be a strictly lytic phage without any virulence or antibiotic resistance genes indicating safety for environmental and clinical applications. Significance and Impact of the Study The multidrug‐resistant strains of A. hydrophila pose a significant health risk to both cultured fishes and consumers leaving few options for treatment. Phage vB‐AhyM‐AP1 may be used as a candidate biocontrol agent against A. hydrophila strains.
