The virulent bacteriophage MJG that specifically infects Aeromonas hydrophila was isolated from a water sample from a river in Harbin, China. The genome of phage MJG was a double-stranded linear DNA with 45,057 bp, possessing 50.11% GC content. No virulence or resistance genes were found in the phage genome. Morphological observation, genomic characterization, and phylogenetic analysis indicated that MJG was closely related to phages belonging to the genus Sp6virus in the Podoviridae family. This phage is a novel member within Sp6virus that could infect and lyse A. hydrophila. This study could serve as a genomic reference of A. hydrophila phages and provide a potential agent for phage therapy.
