Salmonella Phages Examined in the Electron Microscope

  • Protocol
Salmonella

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 394))

Abstract

Out of 177 surveyed bacteriophages, 161 (91%) are tailed and belong to the Myoviridae, Siphoviridae, and Podoviridae families (43, 55, and 59 viruses, respectively). Sixteen filamentous or isometric phages are members of the Inoviridae, Leviviridae, Microviridae, and Tectiviridae families (9%). Many tailed phages belong to established phage genera (P22, T1, T5, and T7), which are widespread in enterobacteria and other Gram-negatives of the Proteobacteria phylum.
