Complete genome of temperate phage ENT39118 from Cronobacter sakazakii.


ABSTRACT: Cronobacter sakazakii infection is particularly harmful to infants, and putative virulence factors of prophage origin have been identified in C. sakazakii. In this study, the phage ENT39118 was isolated from wild-type C. sakazakii; it belongs to the family Siphoviridae. The genomic sequence of phage ENT39118 was composed of circular double-stranded DNA with a length of 39,012 bp. The sequence of ENT39118 showed weak sequence similarity to some reported regions of the prophage sequences in the C. sakazakii BAA-894 genome. To our knowledge, this is the first study of the genomic sequencing and annotation of this temperate phage, which was obtained from a C. sakazakii isolate from powdered infant formula.
