“…Phage therapy has shown promise as an effective pre-harvest intervention by controlling foodborne pathogens in animals and birds (Raya et al, 2006(Raya et al, , 2011Lim et al, 2012;Carvalho et al, 2010). The proposed rationale for this approach is that phages may be used to prevent and/or significantly reduce colonization of pathogenic bacteria in livestock animals and birds.…”

“…The Salmonella concentrations were significantly reduced in both mice and chickens highlighting the potential of phages in prevention and treatment of bacterial infections. Lim et al (2012) measured the effectiveness of phages to control S. enteritidis infection in 1 day old chicks. The study reported that phage (10 9 CFU mLG 1 ) dosage as a feed additive significantly lowers (70%) bacterial counts in cecal tissue and proposed their usage in control of Salmonella infections in poultry and the incidence of food poisoning cases caused by this bacteria.…”

The present review focuses on applications of bacteriophages (also called 'Phages') in biocontrol of foodborne pathogens. Food borne diseases caused by bacterial pathogens are a threat to the human health and national economy. Further, there is an increase in multidrug resistance among bacterial pathogens and the conventional methods of food safety, generally involve use of chemicals having certain toxicity issues. The bacteriophages in contrast are natural enemies of bacteria and have regained their popularity as a natural biocontrol agent of bacterial pathogens. The bacteriophages are viruses that kill bacteria and are the most ubiquitous (total number estimated to be 10 30 -10 32 ) known organisms on earth. These are part of the normal microflora of all fresh and unprocessed foods and play a key role in maintaining microbial balance in every ecosystem where bacteria exist. Recently, there is a gaining interest among researchers regarding practical applications of bacteriophages to improve food safety. Many bacteriophage based preparations have been approved by regulatory authorities for their usage in food safety as food additives and disinfectants. Mainly, the application of phages for biocontrol of food pathogens are classified into three categories: (1) Pre-harvest control of foodborne pathogens in food producing livestock and poultry, (2) Decontamination of inanimate surfaces in food-processing facilities and other food establishments and (3) Post-harvest control of foodborne pathogens by direct applications of phages onto the harvested/processed foods. Commercially available phage products being marketed by several companies for reducing the presence of foodborne pathogenic bacteria in food and food production environment have been described and reviewed here.

“…Recently Lim et al (2012) measured the effectiveness of administration of phages as additives in food, in 1 dayold chicks for the reduction of S. Enteritidis infection. In this study, using different viral concentrations, only the administration of a high phage concentration (10 9 PFU/g) achieved significantly lower counts of Salmonella in cecal tissue compared to the control group (5.48 log CFU/g in contrast with 6.55 log CFU/g), demonstrating their effectiveness.…”

“…The use of bacteriophages and their derivatives to control food-borne pathogens in food and the food industry is fast becoming a worthy alternative, with numerous studies providing promising evidence of their potential against a broad spectrum of major and emerging food pathogens, including Salmonella enterica (Berchieri et al, 1991;Borie et al, 2008;Wall et al, 2010;Bardina et al, 2012;Lim et al, 2012), Escherichia coli O157 : H7 (O'Flynn et al, 2004;Rozema et al, 2009;Rivas et al, 2010;Anany et al, 2011;Coffey et al, 2011;Viazis et al, 2011), Campylobacter spp. (Loc Carrillo et al, 2005;Wagenaar et al, 2005;El-Shibiny et al, 2009), Listeria monocytogenes (Gaeng et al, 2000;Leverentz et al, 2003;Guenther et al, 2009;Bigot et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2012) and C. sakazakii (Kim et al, 2007;Zuber et al, 2008), among many others.…”
