Abstract
Materials and Methods for lysing a strain of Paenibacillus larvae that is not P. larvae 2605, including methods for providing to an environment of a bee hive infected with the strain of P. larvae a lysing phage that also lyses with P. larvae 2605.
Claims12
A method of deterring a first strain of Paenibacillus larvae that is not P. larvae 2605, comprising providing to an environment of a bee hive infected with the first strain of P. larvae an isolated lytic phage that lyses P. larvae 2605 and deters productive replication of P. larvae 2605.
A method of deterring a first strain of P. larvae that is not P. larvae 2605, comprising providing to an environment of a bee hive infected with the first strain of P. larvae a lysing phage that lyses P. larvae 2605 and at least two other strains of P. larvae selected from the group consisting of ATTC Numbers 9545, 25367, 25368, 25747, 25748, and 49843.
