Biological and genomic characteristics of a polyvalent Salmonella phage and its dual application in food decontamination and chick salmonellosis treatment.
Bacteriophages have been widely recognized as one of the most promising alternatives to antibiotics. In this study, a multivalent bacteriophage designated vB_SalM_Sz was isolated, and its whole-genome sequence, biological traits, biosafety profile, and bactericidal activity were comprehensively characterized. Genomic a...
