Editor’s summary
Bacillus cereus is a cause of food poisoning, which could be prevented through the use of lytic bacteriophage. This study describes a novel phage, isolated from sewage, in the family Myoviridae. This phage is able to infect a broad range of Bacillus species, including B. cereus and B. anthracis, indicating its potential application in food preservation.
