Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is a food-borne pathogen that causes salmonellosis in the United States. Bacteriophages are emerging as viable biocontrol agents against this pathogen. Here, we present the complete annotated genome sequence of Salmonella Enteritidis T4-like myophage Marshall, which has potential as a phage therapy agent.
Highlights
Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is a food-borne pathogen that causes salmonellosis in the United States
Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis infections have been growing in number worldwide since the 1970s and have become the leading cause of salmonellosis illness in humans (1)
It is predicted to use a headful DNA packaging strategy based on TerL homology to other large terminases of known packaging strategies
Summary
Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is a food-borne pathogen that causes salmonellosis in the United States. Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis infections have been growing in number worldwide since the 1970s and have become the leading cause of salmonellosis illness in humans (1). Enteritidis pandemic is largely attributed to the pathogen’s unique adaptation for egg contamination (2). Enteritidis phage Marshall, which was isolated from a sewage sample collected in College Station, TX.
