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.

Implication

Genome sequences reveal bacteriophage infectivity against Salmonella enterica in Burkina Faso wastewater.

Abstract

We report the genome sequences of three double-stranded DNA phages, from the Gelderlandvirus and Chivirus genera, isolated from wastewater in Burkina Faso, infecting a foodborne Salmonella enterica subsp. diarizonae isolate. Their genomes range from 59,952 to 161,888 bp, with a G+C content of 36.93-56.6% and 86-273 predicted coding sequences.
