| Abstract |
A novel lytic bacteriophage, Escherichia phage EcS1, was isolated from sewage samples collected in Higashi-Hiroshima, Japan. The complete genome sequence of EcS1 was determined using the Illumina Miseq System. The whole genome of EcS1 was found to be 175,437 bp in length with a mean G+C content of 37.8%. A total of 295 genes were identified as structural, functional, and hypothetical genes. BLAST analysis of the EcS1 genomic sequence revealed the highest identity (79%; query cover of 73-74%) to three T4-related phages that infect Serratia sp. ATCC 39006. Host range experiments revealed that EcS1 has lytic effects on three pathogenic strains of Shigella spp. and a pathogenic strain of Salmonella enterica as well as on E. coli strains. However, two strains of Serratia marcescens showed resistance to this phage. Phylogenetic trees for phage tail fiber protein sequences revealed that EcS1 is closely related to Enterobacteriaceae-infecting phages. Thus, EcS1 is a novel phage that infects several pathogenic strains of the family Enterobacteriaceae. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 October 2018.
All research outputs
#6,381,298
of 23,098,660 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Virology
#771
of 4,218 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#110,580
of 330,143 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Virology
#7
of 76 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,098,660 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,218 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,143 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 76 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
