Phage Banzai: Genomic and Functional Analysis of Novel with Lytic Activity Against .

Antibiotic-resistant presents a critical global health challenge, particularly in hospital-acquired infections. Bacteriophages offer a promising therapeutic avenue due to their ability to target and lyse resistant strains. This study characterizes phage Banzai, a newly isolated (family ) with lytic activity against multiple isolates, including multidrug-resistant strains.
