A tailspike with exopolysaccharide depolymerase activity from a new Providencia stuartii phage makes multidrug-resistant bacteria susceptible to serum-mediated killing

Providencia stuartii is emerging as a significant drug-resistant nosocomial pathogen, which encourages the search for alternative therapies. Here, we have isolated Providencia stuartii phage Stuart, a novel podovirus infecting multidrug-resistant hospital isolates of this bacterium. Phage Stuart is...
