Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel bacteriophage, more particularly, a bacteriophage that has a specific bactericidal activity against Fowl Typhoid causing Salmonella Gallinarum (SG) and Pullorum disease-causing Salmonella Pullorum (SP). Further, the present invention relates to a composition for the prevention or treatment of infectious diseases caused by Salmonella Gallinarum or Salmonella Pullorum, comprising the bacteriophage as an active ingredient. Furthermore, the present invention relates to feed and drinking water for poultry, sanitizers and cleaners, comprising the bacteriophage as an active ingredient.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a novel bacteriophage which has specific bactericidal activity against one or more Salmonella bacteria selected from the group consisting of Salmonella Enteritidis, Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella Gallinarum, and Salmonella Pullorum without affecting beneficial bacteria, in addition to showing excellent tolerance to acid, heat and desiccation. The novel bacteriophage can be widely used as an active ingredient for therapeutic agents, animal feeds or drinking water, cleaners and sanitizers for preventing and treating the infectious diseases caused by Salmonella Enteritidis, Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella Gallinarum or Salmonella Pullorum including salmonellosis, Salmonella food poisoning, Fowl Typhoid, and Pullorum disease or for controlling the salmonella bacteria.
