Abstract

Enterococcus faecalis is associated with antibiotic-resistant infections, and this study presents E. faecalis siphophage Sigurd. The 41,811-bp Sigurd genome is divided into two arms defined by long convergent predicted transcription units that are separated by a bidirectional rho-independent terminator. Sigurd has a small terminase that is closely related to Bacillus subtilis cos phage phi105.
