Ralstonia solanacearum is an increasingly prominent multidrug-resistant phytopathogen. Phages are an effective alternative for treating Ralstonia solanacearum infections. In this study, the phage vB_RsoP_BMB116, which is specific to R . solanacearum , was isolated from Fujian, China. Electron microscopy revealed that vB_RsoP_BMB116 exhibited a podoviridae morphotype. The double-stranded DNA genome of vB_RsoP_BMB116 spans 83,020 bp and encodes 126 predicted unidirectionally oriented genes, of which 42 have putative functions assigned, while the remainder are hypothetical proteins. Genome analysis indicated that vB_RsoP_BMB116 is a new genus.
