Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a bacteriophage having lytic activity against Mycobacterium avium and/or Mycobacterium intracellulare. The present invention provides a bacteriophage having lytic activity against Mycobacterium avium and/or Mycobacterium intracellulare, wherein the genome of the bacteriophage contains the nucleic acid sequence of the genome of a bacteriophage identified by any of Accession Nos. NITE BP-03513 to NITE BP-03521.
