Genome sequence of a salmonella phage used to control salmonella transmission in Swine

Genome Announc. 2014 Sep 11;2(5):e00521-14. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00521-14.

Abstract

Salmonella shedding in swine often increases in response to transportation and lairage. We previously demonstrated that such increases can be limited by directly feeding microencapsulated Salmonella bacteriophages. Here we present the genome sequence of vB_SalM_SJ_3, a broader spectrum Viuna-like Salmonella phage used in those studies.
