DESCRIPTION:Paenibacillus larvae is a gram-positive bacterium that is the 
 causative agent of American Foulbrood Disease\, one of the leading causes 
 of the global population decline of honeybees.  Since 2013 the number of s
 equenced bacteriophages that infect P. larvae has increased from zero to 1
 8\, and is set to increase further.  P. larvae bacteriophages are heteroge
 neous\, falling into several similarity clusters.  Their genomes are 38-55
  kb long\, containing between 68 and 92 coding genes.  Several treatments 
 for AFB using P. larvae bacteriophages and P. larvae bacteriophage endolys
 ins have been published\, with promising\, if not conclusive results.
