Escherichia coli ATCC8739 was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection. Adherent invasive E. coli (AIEC) strains were kindly gifted by Professor Christel Neut (Rahmouni et al., 2018 (link)). All strains were cultured in Luria-Bertani (LB) media. Bacteriophage PBPA90 infecting P. aeruginosa was obtained from the Bacteriophage Bank of Korea. The bacteriophage was isolated from Opo Wastewater Facility in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. The host strain used for the isolation was P. aeruginosa (ATCC13388). An endolysin gene was annotated and named LysPA90 (GenBank accession no. MW815133).
