In vitro characterization and genome sequencing of two novel lytic phages against Salmonella Infantis isolated from poultry feces.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Salmonella spp. is the second most common bacteria associated with foodborne gastrointestinal outbreaks in humans, with the highest contamination levels in meat, especially poultry. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Infantis is the primary serovar isolated from broilers, without causing any symptomatic disease. Conversely, certain human strains can result in symptomatic illness (fever, headache, and diarrhoea). Therefore, reducing S. Infantis colonization in broilers is important before slaughter, to prevent this pathogen carryover along the food chain.

Methods

Here, we report the characterization of two S. Infantis virulent phages, isolated from broiler feces. Isolates were phenotypically and genetically characterize
