Binding activity and specificity of tail fiber protein 35Q for Salmonella pullorum.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella, a prevalent pathogen with significant implications for the poultry industry and food safety, presents a global public health concern. The rise in antibiotic resistance has exacerbated the challenge of prevention. Accurate and sensitive detection methods are essential in combating Salmonella infections. Bacteriophages, viruses capable of targeting and destroying bacteria, leverage their host specificity for accurate microbial detection. Notably, the tail fiber protein of bacteriophages plays a crucial role in recognizing specific hosts, making it a valuable tool for targeted microbial detection. This study focused on the tail fiber protein 35Q of Salmonella pullorum (SP) bacteriophage YSP2, identified through protein sequencing and genome analysis. Bioinform
