Lytic bacteriophages
Foodborne illnesses resulting from the consumption of produce commodities contaminated with enteric pathogens continue to be a significant public health issue. Lytic bacteriophages may provide an effective and natural intervention to reduce bacterial pathogens on fresh and fresh-cut produce commodities. The use of multi-phage cocktails specific for a single pathogen has been most frequently ass...
متن کاملLytic bacteriophages reduce Escherichia coli O157
The role of lytic bacteriophages in preventing cross contamination of produce has not been evaluated. A cocktail of three lytic phages specific for E. coli O157:H7 (EcoShield™) or a control (phosphate buffered saline, PBS) was applied to lettuce by either; (1) immersion of lettuce in 500 ml of EcoShield™ 8.3 log PFU/ml or 9.8 log PFU/ml for up to 2 min before inoculation with E. coli O157:H7; (...
متن کاملIsolation of lytic bacteriophages against pathogenic Escherichia coli strains in poultry in the northwest of Iran
In this study, 90 internal organ samples of poultry with symptoms of colibacillosis were obtained from Maragheh poultry farms in East Azerbaijan, Iran. In total, 70 bacterial isolates were confirmed as Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains using standard biochemical tests, and antibiotic sensitivity was determined by the disk diffusion method. Antibiotics used in this study included ampicillin, pe...
متن کاملLytic Capability of Bacteriophages (family Myoviridae) on Burkholderia Pseudomallei.
Burkholderia pseudomallei, a gram-negative bacillus found in soil and water, is the causative agent of melioidosis. It can produce a biofilm, which increases resistance to antibacterial agents. Bacteriophages (phages) have been suggested as alternative antibacterial agents. In this study, the ability of six phages (family Myoviridae) to lyse B. pseudomallei isolates was examined using a micropl...
متن کاملClassification of lytic bacteriophages attacking dairy Leuconostoc starter strains.
A set of 83 lytic dairy bacteriophages (phages) infecting flavor-producing mesophilic starter strains of the Leuconostoc genus was characterized, and the first in-depth taxonomic scheme was established for this phage group. Phages were obtained from different sources, i.e., from dairy samples originating from 11 German dairies (50 Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides [Ln. pseudomesenteroides] phages...
