Salmonella virus Epsilon15 explained

Epsilon 15 (or ε15) is a virus, specifically a bacteriophage, known to infect species of Salmonella bacteria including Salmonella anatum.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The virus is a short, tailed phage with a double-stranded DNA genome of 39,671 base pairs and 49 open reading frames.[6]
