Isolation and Characterization of Gardnerella Phage vB_Gva_AB1, a Bacteriophage Infecting a Clinical Strain of Gardnerella vaginalis

Gardnerella vaginalis is the presumed causative agent of bacterial vaginosis. Here, we describe the complete genome sequence of Gardnerella phage vB_Gva_AB1, induced from a vaginal bacterial strain from a woman suffering with bacterial vaginosis. The phage double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome is 50,268 bp long with a GC content of 39.55% and contains 62 predicted open reading frames.
