title: Complete genome sequence of Cronobacter sakazakii bacteriophage CR3.
abstract: Due to the high risk of Cronobacter sakazakii infection in infants fed powdered milk formula and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, an alternative biocontrol agent using bacteriophage is needed to control this pathogen. To further the development of such an agent, the C. sakazakii-targeting bacteriophage CR3 was isolated and its genome was completely sequenced. Here, we announce the genomic analysis results of the largest C. sakazakii phage known to date and report the major findings from the genome annotation.
