In a previous study, Salmonella Typhimurium-specific phage vB_SalA_KFSST3, which possess antibiofilm activity, was isolated and purified from wastewater used in slaughterhouses. This study aimed to perform bioinformatic analyses to investigate the genes associated with its antibiofilm activity. Phage genome consisted of a single chromosome of 156,555 bp with a GC content of 44.8%. Among its 202 open reading frames (ORFs), three tail spike proteins (TSPs; orf141, orf142, orf143) were identified with high confidence. All TSPs were predicted to encode putative depolymerase activities, including two endoglycosidases and one endorhamnosidase. The genome has been deposited in GenBank under the accession number PP_994976.1.
