Background: Colibacillosis caused by is one of the main problems in the swine industry. In addition, the emergence of antimicrobial resistance and the combination of virulence genes among pathotypes have led to the emergence of more virulent pathogenic strains. Phage therapy has become a promising approach to address these issues.

However, efforts to counter this disease are impeded by the increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) worldwide, so intensive research is being conducted to identify alternative treatments. This study isolated, characterized, and evaluated the efficacy of bacteriophages to control pathogens causative of swine enteric colibacillosis.
