YTYee Fan Tan PMPrasanna MutusamyAIMST University TSThomas Sicheritz-PontenUniversity of Copenhagen

Key Points

To characterize the complete genome of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis phage SESL.
Isolation of phage from a hot spring salt lick sample.
Genome sequencing and analysis to determine length and GC content.
Comparative analysis of nucleotide similarity with related phages.
The complete genome of SESL is 111,296 bp long.
SESL contains 161 protein-coding genes.
The phage shares 99.99% nucleotide similarity with Salmonella phage STP-SP2.

Abstract

The complete genome of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis phage SESL, isolated from a Malaysian hot spring salt lick sample, belonging to genus Tequintavirus, is 111,296 bp in length and has a GC content of 39.26%. SESL has 161 protein-coding genes and shares 99.99% nucleotide similarity with Salmonella phage STP-SP2.
