Isolation and Genomic Characterization of a Lytic Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Bacteriophage (S2EK)
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a foodborne pathogen, and lytic phages may provide targeted biocontrol. S2EK was evaluated for host range, replication, broth growth suppression, stability, and genome characteristics. S2EK lysed its isolation host but did not lyse the 11 heterologous...
