Bacteriophage Cocktail Design Based on an Advanced Selection Scheme.

Campylobacteriosis is a worldwide-occurring disease and has been the most commonly reported zoonotic gastrointestinal infection in the European Union in recent years. The development of successful phage-based intervention strategies will require a better understanding of phage-bacteria interactions to facilitate advances in phage cocktail design. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of newly isolated group II and group III phages and their combinations on current field strains.

Isolation and Characterization of Group III -Specific Bacteriophages From Germany and Their Suitability for Use in Food Production.

spp. are a major cause of bacterial foodborne diarrhea worldwide. While thermophilic species asymptomatically colonize the intestines of chickens, most human infections in industrial countries have been attributed to consumption of chicken meat or cross-contaminated products.
