Bacteriophage and antibacterial composition comprising the same
Disclosed herein is a novel bacteriophage which has specific bactericidal activity against one or more Salmonella bacteria selected from the group consisting of Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella gallinarum, and Salmonella pullorum without affecting beneficial bacteria, in addition to showing excellent tolerance to acid, heat and desiccation. The novel bacteriophage of the present invention can be widely used as an active ingredient for therapeutic agents, animal feeds or drinking water, cleaners and sanitizers for preventing and treating the infectious diseases caused by Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella gallinarum or Salmonella pullorum including salmonellosis, Salmonella food poisoning, Fowl Typhoid, and Pullorum disease or for controlling the Salmonella bacteria. The present invention also provides important insights into prevention and control strategies against Salmonella infection and suggests that the use of bacteriophage can be a novel, safe, and effectively plausible alternative to antibiotics for the prevention of Salmonella infection in poultry.
