# Genome sequence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli jumbo bacteriophage vB_EcoM_JNE01

## TL;DR

This paper reports the genome sequence of a large bacteriophage that infects a harmful E. coli strain found in chicken farm sewage.

## Contribution

The study provides a new genome sequence of a jumbo bacteriophage with potential relevance to E. coli control.

## Key findings

- The vB_EcoM_JNE01 genome is 355,583 bp long with 584 open reading frames.
- It has 36% G+C content and 80% nucleotide identity with bacteriophage PBECO4.
- The phage was isolated from chicken farm sewage using E. coli O157:H7 as the host.

## Abstract

Bacteriophage vB_EcoM_JNE01 was isolated from chicken farm sewage using Escherichia coli O157:H7 as the host bacteria. The total length of the vB_EcoM_JNE01 genome is 355,583 bp, with 584 open reading frames and 36% G+C content. It shares an 80% nucleotide identity with 59% query coverage with the bacteriophage PBECO4 (NC_027364).
