Bacteriophage, salmonella bacteriolytic agent, composition, and method for controlling bacteria of the genus salmonella

Abstract

A novel bacteriophage having bacteriolytic activity against bacteria of the genus Salmonella, such as S. Enteritidis, and a bacteriolytic agent consisting of the same are provided. The bacteriophage and the bacteriolytic agent including the bacteriophage have a wide host range for bacteria of the genus Salmonella. A host-specific bacteriophage and an effective Salmonella bacteriolytic agent consisting of the same are provided. A bacteriophage capable of effectively controlling S. Typhimurium, and in particular, multidrug-resistant S. Typhimurium, and a bacteriolytic agent consisting of the same are also provided. A bacteriophage having a specific genomic DNA sequence; a Salmonella bacteriolytic agent consisting of the bacteriophage; and a composition comprising the same are provided.
