Abstract

The Shigella bacterium is one of the most significant causes of waterborne and foodborne bacterial dysentery. A lytic bacteriophage infecting Shigella flexneri was isolated from wastewater in Japan. We report here the complete genome sequence of this bacteriophage, revealing that it belongs to the Myoviridae family and possesses linear genomic DNA.
