Abstract

Salmonella enterica is a Gram-negative inhabitant of the gastrointestinal tract of warm-blooded animals and commonly implicated in foodborne illness. Here, we describe the isolation of Salmonella enterica phage SeKF_80. The 89,965 bp genome contains 174 predicted coding sequences with 44 predicted functions. Phage SeKF_80 shares species-level similarity with Salmonella phages 7-11.
