Efficacy of Bacteriophage Therapy on Horizontal Transmission of Salmonella Gallinarum on Commercial Layer Chickens

Abstract: A Salmonella Gallinarum (SG)-specific bacteriophage isolated from sewage effluent was used to prevent horizontal transmission of SG in commercial layer chickens. Six-week-old chickens, each challenged with 5 x 10(8) colony-forming units of SG, cohabited with contact chickens treated with 10(6) plaque-forming units/kg of bacteriophage, prepared in feed additives, for 7 days before, and 21 days after challenge with SG. Mortality was observed for 3 wk after challenge and SG was periodically reisolated from the li… Show more

“…The observation that the Gallinarum and Pullorum genomes are relatively free of prophages suggests that the fowl-specific Salmonella may be sensitive to more phages compared to Enteritidis and Dublin. Such phages would be useful in cocktails for use in prophylactic phage therapy, a rekindled approach to control Salmonella infections in poultry houses [ 78 80 ].…”

“…The antibacterial properties of phages have found application in experimental therapies in humans and animals and in the development of disinfectants eliminating bacteria from the surfaces of foods of plant and animal origin (Abuladze et al, 2008;Carlton, Noordman, Biswas, Meester, & Loessner, 2005;Lim et al, 2011;Weber-Dąbrowska, Mulczyk, & Górski, 2000).…”
