Isolation of Salmonella senftenberg bacteriophages.
A total of 61 bacteriophages were isolated from 100 strains of Salmonella senftenberg. Six bacteriophages were selected for typing purposes which were specific for S. senftenberg. Five phages, SasL1 to SasL5 were morphologically similar; phage SasL6 was morphologically different from the others. These phages fall into two morphological groups none of which correspond to the known tailed enterobacterial phage species. Hence, two new phage species represented by SasL1 and SasL6 are proposed.
