title: Complete genome sequence of the salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis bacteriophages fSE1C and fSE4C isolated from food matrices.
abstract: Salmonella entericaserovar Enteritidis is one of the most common causes of Salmonellosis worldwide. Utilization of bacteriophages as prophylactic agents is a practical solution to prevent Salmonellosis in ready-to-eat products. Shelf stability is one of the desirable properties for prophylactic bacteriophages. Here, we describe the phenotype, genome, and phylogeny offSE1C andfSE4SSalmonellabacteriophages.fSE1C andfSE4S were previously isolated from pickle sauce and ground beef respectively and selected for their significant shelf stability.fSE1C andfSE4S showed a broadS. entericaserovar range, infecting severalSalmonellaserovars. The viral particles showed an icosahedral head structure and flexible tail, a typical morphology of theSiphoviridaefamily.fSE1C andfSE4C genomes consists of dsDNA of 41,720 bp and 41,768 bp with 49.73% and 49.78% G + C, respectively. Comparative genomic analysis reveals a mosaic relationship betweenS. entericaserovar Enteritidis phages isolated from Valparaiso, Chile.
