Biofilm removal mediated by Salmonella phages from chicken-related sources by Zhenzhen Ning, Lingling Zhang, Linlin Cai, Xinglian Xu, Ying Chen, Huhu Wang

“…In this work, 21 Salmonella phages were isolated from a chicken farm and slaughter plant and the phage (CW1) with the broadest spectrum was characterized. Complete genome sequence analysis revealed that the genomes of phage CW1 is composed of 41763 bp with 58 open reading frames (ORFs) and a holin-endolysin system and it does not encode any virulence or lysogeny. …”
