Genomic analysis and characterization of a new Salmonella phage vB_Sen_ST2 infecting Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Typhimurium
In this study, we have characterized and sequenced the whole genome of a new member of the Kuttervirus genus, Salmonella phage vB_Sen_ST2. This phage selectively targets Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Typhimurium, which are major etiologic agents of salmonellosis worldwide. Its genome consists of a linear, double-stranded DNA of 156,028 bp, with a G + C content of 44.93 %. Based on our results, Salmonella phage vB_Sen_ST2 presents suitable features to be considered as a potential control agent against Salmonella enterica serovars that are responsible for salmonellosis.
