摘要

We isolated and characterized the novel polyvalent T-even type bacteriophage vB_SenS_Jbel from wastewater using an enrichment of three different Salmonella strains. The vB_SenS_Jbel virions have prolate icosahedral capsids approximately 100 nm long and 80 nm wide. The genome consists of linear, double-stranded DNA that is 165,566 bp long. Analysis of the genome and structure of vB_SenS_Jbel indicates that it belongs to the genus Tequatrovirus of the family Straboviridae. This novel polyvalent phage can infect Escherichia coli and multiple Salmonella and Shigella species through its unique tail fiber structure.
