AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers have sequenced and characterized a new virus called Salmonella phage vB_Sen_ST2, which is part of the Kuttervirus genus.
- This phage specifically targets the Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Typhimurium, which cause salmonellosis, a common foodborne illness.
- The genome of this phage is made up of 156,028 base pairs of double-stranded DNA, showing promise as a potential treatment option for controlling these harmful bacteria.
Article Abstract
In this study, we have characterized and sequenced the whole genome of a new member of the Kuttervirus genus, Salmonella phage vB_Sen_ST2. This phage selectively targets Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi and Typhimurium, which are major etiologic agents of salmonellosis worldwide. Its genome consists of a linear, double-stranded DNA of 156,028 bp, with a G + C content of 44.93 %. Based on our results, Salmonella phage vB_Sen_ST2 presents suitable features to be considered as a potential control agent against Salmonella enterica serovars that are responsible for salmonellosis.

Abortusequi ( Abortusequi) is the primary cause of abortions in equine animals, and can cause serious foodborne illness. Thus, effective biocontrol strategies are needed to decontaminate and control the emergence of foodborne diseases. In recent years, phages have been used as a new strategy for modulating foodborne pathogens and food safety.

serovar Rissen ( Rissen) is an emerging causative agent of foodborne diseases. The current emergence of antibiotic resistance makes necessary alternative therapeutic strategies. In this study, we investigated the potential of a phage-resistant strain of Rissen (R) as a tool for developing an effective lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-based vaccine.

Advances in bacteriophage genome sequencing and regulatory approvals of some bacteriophages in various applications have renewed interest in these antibacterial viruses as a potential solution to persistent food safety challenges. Here, we analyzed in depth the genome of the previously studied bacteriophage OSYSP (phage OSYSP), revealed its application-related characteristics, and optimized its enumeration techniques for facilitating industrial implementation. We previously sequenced phage OSYSP genome completely by combining results from Illumina Miseq and Ion Torrent sequencing platforms and completing the remaining sequence gaps using PCR.
