Bacteriophages Isolated From Turkeys Infecting Diverse Serovars.

is one of the leading causes of foodborne illnesses worldwide. The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant strains has increased global concern for salmonellosis. Recent studies have shown that bacteriophages (phages) are novel and the most promising antibacterial agents for biocontrol in foods because phages specifically kill target bacteria without affecting other bacteria, do not alter organoleptic properties or nutritional quality of foods, and are safe and environmentally friendly.
