Metagenome-assembled complete genome of Bohxovirus, a virulent bacteriophage involved in the prediction of hospital-acquired pneumonia in intubated critically ill patients

We present the complete genome of a Bohxovirus species, a virulent phage targeting Prevotella jejuni, reconstructed from viral metagenomes in respiratory endotracheal aspirates of intubated critically ill patients. The 98-kbp bacteriophage, belonging to the Suoliviridae family, does not contain genes associated with antibiotic resistance or bacterial virulence.CLINICAL TRIALSClinicalTrials.gov numbers: NCT02003196 and NCT04793568.
