Abstract
Bacteriophage f18SE was isolated from poultry sewage in Olmue, Chile, and lytic activity was demonstrated against Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis and serovar Pullorum strains. This bacteriophage has a 41,868-bp double-stranded DNA (ds-DNA) genome encoding 53 coding sequences (CDSs) and belongs to the family Siphoviridae, subfamily Jerseyvirinae.
Highlights
Bacteriophage f18SE was isolated from poultry sewage in Olmue, Chile, and lytic activity was demonstrated against Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis and serovar Pullorum strains
Since phage prophylaxis can reduce the use of antibiotics, we isolated the bacteriophage f18SE from poultry sewage [1]
The phage f18SE belongs to the family Siphoviridae, subfamily Jerseyvirinae [2]. f18SE has been successfully evaluated as prophylactic agent in Caenorhabditis elegans [3] and chicks [4]
Summary
Bacteriophage f18SE was isolated from poultry sewage in Olmue, Chile, and lytic activity was demonstrated against Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis and serovar Pullorum strains. Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is one of the most common causes of salmonellosis worldwide. S. Enteritidis is typically transmitted by food-products derivate from the poultry industry. Since phage prophylaxis can reduce the use of antibiotics, we isolated the bacteriophage f18SE from poultry sewage [1].
