Isolation, characterization, and antibacterial activity of a novel Pasteurella multocida bacteriophage

In a chick infection model, phage treatment significantly improved the survival rate of infected chicks from 40% to 80%, significantly reduced bacterial loads in blood, lung, liver, and spleen, and decreased serum levels of TNF-α and IL-1β while alleviating histopathological damage.
