Additional treatment and diagnostic regimes are needed for this enteric pathogen motivating the discovery and characterization of bacteriophages specific to E. ictaluri. Results The genomes of three Edwardsiella ictaluri-specific bacteriophages isolated from geographically distant aquaculture ponds at different times were sequenced and analyzed. The genomes for phages eiAU eiDWF and eiMSLS are kbp kbp and kbp respectively and are greater than 95 identical to each other at the nucleotide level. Nucleotide differences were mostly observed in non-coding regions and in structural proteins with significant variability in the sequences of putative tail fiber proteins. The genome organization of these phages exhibit a pattern shared by other Siphoviridae. Conclusions These E. ictaluri-specific phage genomes reveal considerable conservation of genomic architecture and sequence identity even with considerable temporal and spatial divergence in their isolation. Their genomic homogeneity is similarly observed among E. ictaluri bacterial isolates. The genomic analysis of these .
