Abstract:
:Bacteriophages have gained substantial attention as biocontrol and biorecognition agents, substituting antibodies. In this study, a Salmonella Enteritidis-specific bacteriophage, KFS-SE1, was isolated, identified, and characterized. This Siphoviridae phage infects S. Enteritidis with high specificity. This phage is highly stable under various pH (5-11), temperature (4-60°C), and organic solvent conditions. The KFS-SE1 genome consisted of 59,715 bp with 73 predicted open reading frames and 57.14% GC content; it had a complete set of genes required for phage reconstruction. Comparative phylogenetic analysis of KFS-SE1 revealed that it was very similar to the other Salmonella phages in the Siphoviridae family. These characteristics suggest that KFS-SE1 with its high specificity and host lysis activity toward S. Enteritidis may have various potential applications.
