The Genome of Cronobacter sakazakii Bacteriophage vB_CsaP_GAP227 Suggests a New Genus within the<i>Autographivirinae</i>

Abstract

The genome of Cronobacter sakazakii podovirus vB_CsaP_GAP227 was fully sequenced. The DNA of this lytic phage consists of 41,796 bp and has a G+C content of 55.7%. Forty-nine open reading frames and no tRNAs were identified. This phage is related to Yersinia phages ϕR8-01 and ϕ80-18 and Aeromonas phage phiAS7.
