Abstract

We here characterize a novel bacteriophage (NBR1) that is lytic for Nocardia otitidiscaviarum and N. brasiliensis. NBR1 is a member of the family Siphoviridae and appears to have a structurally more complex tail than previously reported Siphoviridae phages. NBR1 has a linear genome of 46,140 bp and a sequence that appears novel when compared to those of other phage sequences in GenBank. Annotation of the genome reveals 68 putative open reading frames. The phage genome organization appears to be similar to other Siphoviridae phage genomes in that it has a modular arrangement.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
