Genome Sequence of a <i>Salmonella</i> Phage Used To Control <i>Salmonella</i> Transmission in Swine

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.
