Discovery NotesThis phage was discovered within two feet of a cow syrup feed trough, where roughly four cows feed on a regular basis.
Naming NotesThe name of this phage came from the fact that discovering this phage followed many difficulties, and during the purification process many difficulties arose. In result, an EM image was unable to be obtained. Furthermore, "les" are my initials, hence "pesky" and "les" together seemed fitting.
