Identification and Characterization of <i>Salmonella</i> Phages and Absence of <i>Salmonella</i> Strains from Three Different Study Areas of Cattle Livestock.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Salmonella represents a significant risk to both public and animal health. Although Salmonella strains have not been isolated from cattle livestock, Salmonella phages have been successfully identified.

Materials and methods

Our study was conducted through (i) investigating the presence of Salmonella strains and Salmonella phages in three study areas, (ii) phenotypic screening by lytic profile (LP); (iii) selecting nine phages for sequencing; and (iv) genomic comparison to evaluate their relative diversity.

Results

A total of 307 samples were analyzed, resulting in a total of 162 virus-like particles (VLPs) analyzed. The LP was performed to identify Salmonella strains susceptible to phage infection, including the mos
