Complete Genome Sequence of Escherichia coli Phage vB_EcoM Sa157lw, Isolated from Surface Water Collected in Salinas, California

Abstract

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a new member of Vi1-like phages, Escherichia coli phage vB_EcoM Sa157lw, isolated from surface water collected near a produce-growing area in California. This phage does not harbor stx or other lysogeny-associated genes and therefore may have biocontrol application potential.
