Complete genome sequences of two Gelderlandvirus and one Chivirus bacteriophage from Burkina Faso wastewater, lytic against a foodborne Salmonella enterica subsp. diarizonae isolate.

Key Points

• This research aims to sequence and characterize bacteriophages that target Salmonella enterica subsp. diarizonae.
• Isolated bacteriophages from wastewater samples in Burkina Faso.
• Performed genome sequencing of the phages.
• Analyzed genomic characteristics such as size, G+C content, and predicted coding sequences.
• Identified two Gelderlandvirus and one Chivirus with genome sizes ranging from 59,952 to 161,888 bp.
• Observed G+C content varying between 36.93% to 56.6%.
• Predicted coding sequences ranged from 86 to 273 across the different phages.
