摘要： Salmonella is a major foodborne pathogen, that poses a serious threat to poultry farm production. Phage-based biocontrol offered a promising alternative strategy to eradicate the persistent and challenging infections caused by Salmonella in this setting. This study isolated and purified the lytic Salmonella phage vB_SenM_BP13076 (simple as BP13076) using its host strain Salmonella Enteritidis ATCC 13076. Its genome was extensively analyzed, and its potential biocontrol application towards eggs was investigated. Morphological analyses revealed that phage BP13076 is characterized by an icosahedral head and a contractile tail, placing it among Caudoviricetes. The phage demonstrated a broad host range, lysing 66 out of 68 tested Salmonella strains, including eight globally prevalent serovars. Moreover, it also exhibited a short latent period of approximately 5 min and a burst size of about 105 PFU/cell. It also demonstrates good thermal stability and a wide pH range tolerance. The genome of phage BP13076 consists of 160, 318 bp of dsDNA with a G + C content of 37.13% with nucleotide homology placing it among phages of the genus Gelderlandvirus. Notably, the genomic analysis revealed no known genes associated with virulence, antibiotic resistance, or lysogeny, making it a safe candidate for biocontrol applications. In vitro, bacteriostatic tests indicated higher MOI (multiplicity of infection), resulting in a more significant reduction in Salmonella counts. When applied to table and breeding eggs, phage BP13076 at MOIs of 100 and 1000 resulted in a significant decrease in Salmonella levels compared to the positive control groups. These findings highlight the efficacy of phage BP13076 as a promising biocontrol agent for managing Salmonella contamination and transmission for table and breeding eggs, offering a foundation for its potential application in the prevention and control of Salmonella in the poultry industry.
