Phenotypic Characterization and Genome Analysis of New Broad-Spectrum Virulent Salmophage, Salmonella Phage KKP_3822, for Biocontrol of Multidrug-Resistant Strains.

is one of the main foodborne pathogens. Irrational antibiotic management has led to an increase in the incidence of multidrug-resistant strains. Bacteriophages may be an alternative method of food biopreservation and contribute to reducing the number of food poisonings requiring pharmacotherapy.

Biological Characterization and Genomic Analysis of Three Novel - and -Specific Virulent Phages.

Due to the high microbiological contamination of raw food materials and the increase in the incidence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, new methods of ensuring microbiological food safety are being sought. One solution may be to use bacteriophages (so-called phages) as natural bacterial enemies. Therefore, the aim of this study was the biological and genomic characterization of three newly isolated - and -specific virulent bacteriophages as potential candidates for food biocontrol.

Newly Isolated Virulent Salmophages for Biocontrol of Multidrug-Resistant in Ready-to-Eat Plant-Based Food.

Due to irrational antibiotic stewardship, an increase in the incidence of multidrug resistance of bacteria has been observed recently. Therefore, the search for new therapeutic methods for pathogen infection treatment seems to be necessary. One of the possibilities is the utilization of bacteriophages (phages)-the natural enemies of bacteria.

Effectiveness of a Phage Cocktail as a Potential Biocontrol Agent against Saprophytic Bacteria in Ready-To-Eat Plant-Based Food.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the phage cocktail to improve the microbiological quality of five different mixed-leaf salads: rucola, mixed-leaf salad with carrot, mixed-leaf salad with beetroot, washed and unwashed spinach, during storage in refrigerated conditions. rods constituted a significant group of bacteria in the tested products. Selected bacteria were tested for antibiotic resistance profiles and then used to search for specific bacteriophages.

Bacterial Pathogens in the Food Industry: Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Factors of Strains Isolated from Food Chain Links.

is one of the most important foodborne pathogens. Fifty-three strains of deposited in the Culture Collection of Industrial Microorganisms-Microbiological Resources Center (IAFB) were identified using molecular and proteomic analyses. Moreover, the genetic similarity of the tested strains was determined using the PFGE method.
