Although <i>Salmonella</i> strains have not been isolated from cattle livestock, <i>Salmonella</i> phages have been successfully identified.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>Our study was conducted through (i) investigating the presence of <i>Salmonella</i> strains and <i>Salmonella</i> 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.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 307 samples were analyzed, resulting in a total of 162 virus-like particles (VLPs) analyzed. The LP was performed to identify <i>Salmonella</i> strains susceptible to phage infection, including the mosPHAGE (New Rochelle, N.Y.)241-252https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11876809biostudies-literatureIdentification and Characterization of <i>Salmonella</i> Phages and Absence of <i>Salmonella</i> Strains from Three Different Study Areas of Cattle Livestock.PMC11876809Allel KMoreno-Switt AISalazar CRivera DHamilton-West CDuenas FHerve LPfalseIdentification and Characterization of <i>Salmonella</i> Phages and Absence of <i>Salmonella</i> Strains from Three Different Study Areas of Cattle Livestock.<h4>Background</h4><i>Salmonella</i> represents a significant risk to both public and animal health.
