Complete Genome Sequence of Escherichia coli - Specific Phage KFS-EC1 Isolated from a Slaughterhouse

Escherichia coli-specific phage, KFS-EC1, was isolated and purified from a slaughterhouse. The complete genome of the phage was obtained using Illumina MiSeq platforms. Its assembled genome consisted of a single chromosome of 164,715 bp with a GC content of 40.5%. The phage genome contained 170 hypothetical and 101 functional ORFs, and exhibited orthologous average nucleotide identity values of >95% with other E. coli phages belonging to the family Straboviridae. Additionally, phylogenetic analysis revealed that KFSEC1 was finally classified into the family Straboviridae of the genus Caudoviricetes. The genome has been deposited in GenBank under the accession number NC_055757.1.
