Isolation and Characterization of Jumbo Coliphage vB_EcoM_Lh1B as a Promising Therapeutic Agent against Chicken Colibacillosis.

Colibacillosis in chickens can cause the death of young stock, decrease weight gain and lead to significant economic losses. Currently, antibiotic therapy is the main method of treatment of infected animals, but unchecked use of antibiotics has led to widespread antibiotic resistance among microorganisms. Therefore, it is necessary to develop alternative methods of treating bacterial infections that are fully consistent with the One Health concept and introduce them into practice.

Isolation and Characterization of Lytic Bacteriophages Active against Clinical Strains of and Development of a Phage Antimicrobial Cocktail.

Pathogenic cause urinary tract, soft tissue and central nervous system infections, sepsis, etc. Lytic bacteriophages can be used to combat such infections. We investigated six lytic bacteriophages isolated from wastewater.

Complete Genome Sequence of a Phage, Lytic against Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli.

We report the complete genome sequence of the lytic bacteriophage vB_EcoS_Uz1, which was isolated from wastewater near Almaty, Kazakhstan using the avian pathogen Escherichia coli host. Its complete genome is 72,583 bp in length, with a GC content of 43%. vB_EcoS_Uz1 belongs to the Gamaleyavirus genus of the class.

Complete Genome Sequence of -Infecting Phage CEC_KAZ_2018, Isolated from Soil.

Avian pathogenic (APEC) bacteria are one of the main problems of the poultry industry. An effective way to combat colibacillosis is to use a phage preparation that lyses the bacteria. Here, we report the isolation of an -infecting phage, CEC_KAZ_2018, isolated from soil.
