Salmonella is one of the major pathogenic bacteria that cause food poisoning. To elucidate the host infection mechanism of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium-targeting phages, the bacteriophage SPN3UB was isolated from a chicken fecal sample. This phage belongs morphologically to the Siphoviridae family and infects the host via the O antigen of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). To further understand its infection mechanism, we completely sequenced and analyzed the genome. Here, we announce its complete genome sequence and report major findings from the genomic analysis results.
沙门氏菌是引起食物中毒的主要病原菌之一。为阐明沙门氏菌属鼠伤寒血清型噬菌体的宿主感染机制,从鸡粪便样本中分离出噬菌体 SPN3UB。该噬菌体在形态上属于肌尾噬菌体科,通过脂多糖 (LPS) 的 O 抗原感染宿主。为了进一步了解其感染机制,我们对其基因组进行了完整测序和分析。在此,我们宣布其完整基因组序列,并报告基因组分析结果的主要发现。
