Salmonella Prophages, Their Propagation, Host Specificity and Antimicrobial Resistance Gene Transduction.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica is a zoonotic bacterial pathogen that causes foodborne outbreaks in humans. Lytic bacteriophages to control Salmonella in food production are already being used in scientific studies and some are commercially available. However, phage application is still controversial. In addition to virulent phages, which are used in phage therapy and lyse the bacterial host, lysogenic phages coexist in the environment and can reside as prophages in the bacterial host. Therefore, information about Salmonella prophages is essential to understand successful phage therapy. In 100 Salmonella food isolates of the serovars Enteritidis and Typhimurium, we propagated prophages by oxidative stress. In isolates of the serovars Typhimurium and E
