EFGrKN and EFGrNG are new phages that were isolated from sewage samples as part of the Israeli Phage Bank (IPB). The complete genomes were sequenced, analyzed, and deposited in GenBank. According to their lytic activity , it seems that these phages have a potential to be used in future phage therapy treatments.
