Abstract
We isolated and characterized the novel polyvalent T-even type bacteriophage vB_SenS_Jbel from wastewater using an enrichment of three different Salmonella strains. The vB_SenS_Jbel virions have prolate icosahedral capsids approximately 100 nm long and 80 nm wide. The genome consists of linear, double-stranded DNA that is 165,566 bp long. Analysis of the genome and structure of vB_SenS_Jbel indicates that it belongs to the genus Tequatrovirus of the family Straboviridae. This novel polyvalent phage can infect Escherichia coli and multiple Salmonella and Shigella species through its unique tail fiber structure.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Virology publishes original contributions from all branches of research on viruses, virus-like agents, and virus infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and bacteria. Coverage spans a broad spectrum of topics, from descriptions of newly discovered viruses, to studies of virus structure, composition, and genetics, to studies of virus interactions with host cells, organisms and populations. Studies employ molecular biologic, molecular genetics, and current immunologic and epidemiologic approaches. Contents include studies on the molecular pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and genetics of virus infections in individual hosts, and studies on the molecular epidemiology of virus infections in populations. Also included are studies involving applied research such as diagnostic technology development, monoclonal antibody panel development, vaccine development, and antiviral drug development.Archives of Virology wishes to publish obituaries of recently deceased well-known virologists and leading figures in virology.
