Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of microbial technology, and in particular to a Salmonella phage PC192, a phage composition thereof and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of intensive poultry farming, bacterial diseases have increasingly become the primary diseases that endanger the development of the poultry industry. Bacterial diarrhea is an important bacterial disease that endangers the poultry industry. It not only affects the egg production of laying poultry and the weight gain of meat poultry, but can also lead to the death of poultry flocks, causing serious economic losses to the breeding industry. Bacterial diseases that cause diarrhea in poultry include avian Escherichia coli disease, avian salmonellosis, and avian Clostridium perfringens disease.

[0003] Avian salmonellosis is a general term for acute or chronic diseases of poultry caused by a species of Salmonella in the genus Salmonella, which are divided into pullorum, fowl typhoid and fowl paratyphoid. Chickens are the largest host of poultry Salmonella, and the mortality rate of chickens can reach up to 80%; the most common of these is pullorum, which is an acute, septicemic infectious disease in chicks. The morbidity and mortality rates of chicks under 2 weeks of age are very high, and adult chickens infected with Salmonella often show chronic symptoms. However, these non-typhoidal Salmonella that colonize in the intestines of poultry often use eggs and poultry products as the main transmission medium, and are the primary pathogens that cause foodborne diseases in humans. When poultry are infected with Salmonella, not only will their production performance be reduced, but they may even die or be carried into eggs, increasing production costs for the breeding industry, etc.

[0004] Avian colibacillosis is a general term for different types of poultry diseases caused by certain pathogenic or conditionally pathogenic Escherichia coli. It is one of the most serious bacterial diseases that endanger the poultry industry. The disease can infect many types of poultry, such as chickens, ducks, and turkeys of all ages, but chicks are more susceptible than adult chickens, and broilers are more susceptible than laying hens. The respiratory tract, digestive tract, and mating can all be routes of transmission of the disease, but the digestive tract is the main route. The clinical symptoms of affected poultry mainly include loss of appetite, depression, ruffled feathers, swaying gait, lameness, and weight loss. When the digestive tract is affected, symptoms such as diarrhea or green feces will occur.

[0005] Clostridium perfringens disease, also known as Clostridium perfringens disease, is a common acute and fatal diarrheal disease with high morbidity and mortality, causing serious economic losses. According to statistics, the economic losses caused by Clostridium perfringens worldwide are about US$2 billion per year. Clostridium perfringens is widely distributed in nature, growing in soil, sewage, food, and feces. It can form a sandwich in the body of animals and has strong resistance. Poultry infected with Clostridium perfringens type A and C are susceptible to avian necrotic enteritis. Clinical symptoms include depression, closed eyes, decreased feed intake, diarrhea, decreased weight gain rate, and even reddish-brown feces or dark brown tar-like feces, which seriously affect the growth and health of animals and cause great economic losses to farmers.

[0006] The abuse of antibiotics in clinical practice has led to serious bacterial resistance, making it more difficult to prevent and treat poultry bacterial diarrhea with antibiotics. In addition, according to the implementation of my country's policy of prohibiting the addition of antibiotics to feed additives, poultry diarrhea has become increasingly serious. Bacteriophages are a new type of safe and residue-free antibacterial biological agent that has the same killing effect on drug-resistant bacteria and has a good application prospect.

[0007] However, at present, there are few and single Clostridium perfringens phages that can effectively prevent and treat Clostridium perfringens disease, which greatly restricts its scope of application. It is necessary to continue to develop Clostridium perfringens phages with fast reproduction speed and wide lysis spectrum; at the same time, it is also necessary to continue to develop phage compositions with a wider application range, wider lysis spectrum, and the use of the complementary advantages of each phage, so as to better prevent and treat poultry bacterial diarrhea diseases caused by a variety of different bacterial pathogens. Summary of the invention

[0008] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a Salmonella phage PC192 and a phage composition including Salmonella phage PC192 with a wide lysis spectrum and strong lysis effect, which is established based on a cocktail phage control method.

[0056] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the equipment and raw materials used can be purchased from the market or are commonly used in the art. The methods in the following embodiments are conventional methods in the art unless otherwise specified.

[0057] Example 1 Isolation and Preparation of Bacteriophage

[0058] 1. Sample collection

[0059] The samples of liquid feces, sewage, chicken intestines, etc. in the present invention were collected from multiple chicken farms in Shandong Province.

[0060] 2. Resuscitation culture of host bacteria and preparation of proliferation fluid

[0061] The host bacteria were Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Clostridium perfringens isolated, identified and preserved in our laboratory, and isolated from the intestines or livers of sick chickens from a chicken farm in Shandong Province.

[0062] (1) Use a sterilized inoculation loop to dip the stored E. coli and Salmonella liquid, streak inoculate on SS agar medium, and culture in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C for 16 to 24 hours to obtain a single colony. Pick a single colony and inoculate it into a 5 mL NB broth test tube. Culture at 37°C, 170 rpm / min for 12 to 16 hours to obtain fresh E. coli and Salmonella proliferation liquid, which can be temporarily stored at 4°C for later use.

[0063] (2) Use a sterilized inoculation loop to dip into the preserved Clostridium weiheni host bacteria liquid, streak inoculate on 1% glucose-5% sheep blood medium, and culture anaerobically in a 37°C incubator for 16 to 24 hours to obtain a single colony. Pick a single colony and inoculate it into a test tube containing 5 mL of TSB liquid culture medium. Culture anaerobically at 37°C, 170 rpm / min, and culture anaerobically for 12 to 16 hours to obtain a fresh Clostridium weiheni proliferation liquid, which is temporarily stored at 4°C for later use.

[0064] 3. Isolation of bacteriophage

[0065] (1) Separation of Escherichia coli phage and Salmonella phage

[0066] Take an appropriate amount of fecal water and put it into a bubble sample bottle, add 200 μL of Escherichia coli and Salmonella proliferation liquid each, mix them together, then add an appropriate amount of NB broth, culture at 37°C and 170 rpm on a shaker for 16 to 18 hours to proliferate and enrich the phages to obtain a culture solution; take 5 ml of the above culture solution, centrifuge at 11000 rpm for 10 minutes, take the supernatant and filter it with a 0.22 μm filter membrane for sterilization to obtain the phage stock solution. The double-layer plate method was used to separate the phage: 100 μL of the phage stock solution was diluted 10 times, 120 μL of the appropriate gradient dilution solution was mixed with 120 μL of the host bacteria proliferation solution, incubated at 37°C for 5 minutes, and then the upper agar (agar concentration of 0.7%) at about 45°C was added. After mixing, the lower agar (agar concentration of 1.5%) was quickly poured onto the plate, and the plate was shaken and placed flat until the culture medium solidified. After inverted culture in a 37°C incubator for 6 to 8 hours, a double-layer plate with plaque formation was obtained. By using different host bacteria (E. coli or Salmonella), two phages were finally isolated and obtained, which were named E. coli phage PD205 and Salmonella phage PC192, respectively.

[0067] (2) Isolation of Clostridium perfringens phage

[0068] Take an appropriate amount of chicken farm manure sewage or chicken intestinal tissue, add 500μL of Clostridium perfringens liquid, then add TSB medium to 200mL, and culture anaerobically at 37℃ for 16h~18h to enrich bacteriophages. The next day, take out 5-8mL of liquid, centrifuge at 11000rpm for 10min, and filter the supernatant through a 0.22μm sterile microporous filter membrane to obtain the bacteriophage stock solution. The phage was isolated by the double-layer plate method. The phage stock solution was diluted 10 times, and 120 μL of the dilution was taken and mixed with 120 μL of the pathogenic bacteria proliferation solution. After incubation at 37°C for 5 minutes, it was placed on a TSA upper agar plate (agar concentration of 0.7%) at about 45°C. After mixing, it was quickly poured onto a TSA lower agar plate (agar concentration of 1.5%), shaken and placed flat until the culture medium solidified, and placed at 37°C for anaerobic culture for 3 to 6 hours to obtain a double-layer plate with plaques. The obtained Clostridium perfringens phage was named PM11.

[0069] 4. Purification and proliferation of bacteriophage

[0070] (1) Purification and proliferation of Escherichia coli phage PD205 and Salmonella phage PC192

[0071] Using the double-layer plate method, pick a single, smooth-edged and translucent plaque from the double-layer plate where plaques are formed, place it in 1 ml NB broth, and shake it at 37°C and 170 rpm for 30 minutes to obtain a phage extract; centrifuge at 11000 rpm for 5 minutes, take 120 μL of the centrifuged phage extract and mix it thoroughly with 120 μL of the host bacteria proliferation liquid, incubate at 37°C for 5 minutes, add it to the upper agar at about 45°C, mix it well, and quickly pour it onto the plate containing the lower agar culture medium. After the upper agar solidifies, invert it and culture it in a 37°C constant temperature box for 6 to 8 hours. Repeat the above steps 3-5 times to purify the phage repeatedly until plaques of uniform size, morphology and distribution are obtained. From the purified plaque double-layer plate, a single plaque was inoculated into 1 ml NB broth, cultured at 37°C and 170 rpm for 30 min, centrifuged at 11000 rpm for 5 min, 100 μL of supernatant and 100 μL of corresponding host bacteria proliferation liquid were added to 5 ml broth, cultured at 37°C and 170 rpm / min, shaken until the mixed liquid became clear, and then centrifuged to obtain phage proliferation liquid. The proliferation liquids of Escherichia coli phage PD205 and Salmonella phage PC192 were prepared according to the above method.

[0072] Escherichia coli phage PD205 can form clear plaques on double-layer agar plates, with no halo around them, clear and regular edges, and a diameter of about 1 mm (see Figure 1 ).

[0073] Salmonella phage PC192 can form medium and clear plaques on double-layer agar plates, surrounded by a halo, with regular edges and a diameter of about 2 mm (see Figure 2 ).

[0074] (2) Purification and proliferation of Clostridium perfringens phage PM11

[0075] The double-layer plate method is used to purify the phage. A single plaque is picked from the above double-layer culture medium where the plaque is formed, and it is placed in 1 mL of TSB broth, and shaken at 37°C and 170 rpm for 1 hour to obtain a phage extract. 220 μL of the phage extract is mixed evenly with 220 μL of the corresponding above Clostridium perfringens proliferation liquid, and incubated at 37°C for 5 minutes. The incubated mixture is added to a TSA upper agar (agar concentration of 0.7%) at about 45°C, and after mixing, it is quickly poured onto a TSA lower agar (agar concentration of 1.5%) plate, and the plate is placed at 37°C for inverted anaerobic culture for 6 to 12 hours, and a double-layer plate with plaques is obtained again. Repeat the above steps 3-5 times to purify the phage repeatedly until plaques of uniform size, morphology, and distribution are obtained. Use sterile tweezers to pick up a single plaque from the purified plaque double-layer culture medium and place it in 1 mL of TSB broth. Shake at 170 rpm for 1 hour to obtain a phage extract. Centrifuge at 11000 rpm for 5 minutes. Take 200 μL of the supernatant and 200 μL of the host bacteria proliferation liquid in 5 mL of liquid TSB medium. Culture anaerobically at 37°C and 170 rpm until the liquid becomes clear. Centrifuge the clear liquid at 11000 rpm for 10 minutes, take the supernatant, and filter it using a 0.22 μm sterile microporous filter membrane to obtain the phage proliferation liquid.

[0076] The Clostridium perfringens phage PM11 can form clear plaques on double-layer agar plates, with no halo around them, clear and regular edges, and a diameter of about 2 mm (see Figure 3 ).

[0077] Example 2 Morphological characteristics of bacteriophage

[0078] 1. The morphological observation method is:

[0079] Take 20 μL of phage sample and drop it on a copper mesh with a carbon-coated film. Wait for it to precipitate naturally for 15 minutes. After blotting it with filter paper, stain it with 2% (W / V) phosphotungstic acid (PTA) for 1-2 minutes. After blotting it with filter paper, observe and take pictures with a transmission electron microscope.

[0080] 2. Observation results:

[0081] like Figure 4As shown, the head of Escherichia coli phage PD205 is a regular icosahedron, with a width of 80-87nm, a length of 113-120nm, and a tail length of 107-113nm. According to the definition of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), the morphology of phage PD205 conforms to the characteristics of the Myotailed Bacteriophage family and belongs to the Myotailed Bacteriophage family.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, the head of Salmonella phage PC192 is a polyhedral structure, with a head width of 60-67nm, a length of 60-67nm, and a tail length of 167-200nm. According to the definition of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), the morphology of phage PC192 conforms to the characteristics of the Long-tailed Bacteriophage family and belongs to the Long-tailed Bacteriophage family.

[0094] Example 4 Determination of phage titer

[0095] 1. Experimental methods:

[0096] Dilute the proliferated phage stock solution 10 times, take 240 μL of the above appropriate dilution phage and 240 μL of the host bacterial suspension, mix them into a sterile EP tube, and mix them thoroughly. After incubation at 37°C for 5 minutes, use the double-layer plate method to plate, and after the agar solidifies, invert and culture in a 37°C constant temperature box for 3 to 6 hours (anaerobic culture of Clostridium perfringens phage), and observe the results. Make 2 parallels for each dilution gradient, and count the dilutions between 30 and 300 plaques. Take the average of 2 parallels for each dilution to calculate the phage titer.

[0097] Phage titer (pfu / mL) = average plaque number × dilution factor × 10.

[0098] 2. Experimental results and analysis

[0099] The phage titer of PD205 is 3.80×10 10 PFU / mL, the phage titer of PC192 was 8.60×10 10 PFU / mL, the phage titer of PM11 is 1.20×10 10 PFU / mL.

[0100] Example 5 Thermal stability of bacteriophage

[0101] 1. Experimental methods:

[0102] Take 500 μL of different types of phage proliferation liquid and dispense them into sterile EP tubes, and place them in a water bath at 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, and 80°C for 20 min, 40 min, 60 min, and 120 min, respectively. Set up 2 replicates. After the reaction is over, take a sample and immediately cool it in an ice bath, dilute it at a 10-fold ratio, and determine the titer using the double-layer plate method. With temperature as the horizontal axis and the logarithm of the phage titer as the vertical axis, the thermal stability curves of Escherichia coli phage PD205, Salmonella phage PC192, and Clostridium perfringens phage PM11 were plotted.

[0103] 2. Experimental results and analysis

[0104] like Figure 7As shown, the titer of Escherichia coli phage PD205 is relatively stable in the temperature range of 40-60°C. After being exposed to 70°C for 40 minutes, its titer decreases by 4 orders of magnitude; after being exposed to 80°C for 20 minutes, the phage is inactivated.

[0105] like Figure 8 As shown, the titer of Salmonella phage PC192 was stable when placed at 40-60°C for 120 minutes, and its titer decreased by 3 orders of magnitude when exposed to 70°C for 60 minutes; the phage was inactivated when exposed to 80°C for 20 minutes.

[0106] like Fig. 9 As shown, the titer of Clostridium perfringens phage PM11 was relatively stable when it was exposed to the temperature range of 40-70℃ for 2h, and the phage was inactivated when it was exposed to 80℃ for 20min.

[0107] The results show that Escherichia coli phage PD205, Salmonella phage PC192 and Clostridium perfringens phage PM11 have strong heat resistance and can maintain a certain activity in a higher temperature environment, among which Clostridium perfringens phage PM11 has more outstanding heat resistance.

[0108] Example 6 pH stability of bacteriophage

[0109] 1. Experimental methods

[0110] Take sterile test tubes and add 4.5mL of NB broth (applied to phage PD205 and PC192) or TSB broth (applied to phage PM11) with different pH values ​​(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13), three tubes each, and then place the test tubes in a 37℃ water bath. After the temperature stabilizes, add 500μL of different types of phage proliferation liquid to each, mix well and bathe at 37℃ for 1h, 2h, and 3h. After the reaction is over, immediately add an appropriate amount of 1mol / L HCl or NaOH to each mixed solution to make the pH value of the mixed solution about 7. The double-layer plate method was used to determine the phage titer under different pH values, and 2 replicates were set for each pH value test tube. Finally, the pH stability curves of phage PD205, PC192, and PM11 were drawn with pH as the horizontal axis and the logarithm of phage titer as the vertical axis.

[0111] 2. Experimental results and analysis

[0112] like Fig.10 As shown, after 3 hours of exposure to pH 5-11, the titer of Escherichia coli phage PD205 was still close to the initial titer, while after 2 hours of exposure to pH 12 or pH 13, the titer decreased by 5 orders of magnitude or became inactivated.

[0113] like Fig.11As shown, the activity of Salmonella phage PC192 was stable after being exposed to pH 4-11 for 3 hours, and its potency was significantly reduced or inactivated after being exposed to pH 3 and pH 13 for 3 hours.

[0114] like Fig.12 As shown in the figure, after 3 hours of action at pH 4-11, the titer of PM11 of Clostridium perfringens was relatively stable. After 2 hours of action at pH 3, the titer began to decrease, and the titer decreased by 5 orders of magnitude at pH 13. The above results show that phages PD205, PC192 and PM11 have strong acid-base tolerance and can adapt to a wide range of pH environments.

[0115] Example 7 Determination of one-step growth curve of bacteriophage

[0116] 1. Experimental methods

[0117] Take 1 mL of each of the different types of phage proliferation fluid and the corresponding fresh host bacteria proliferation fluid with a multiplicity of infection of 10, mix thoroughly (start timing at this time), incubate at 37°C for 5 minutes, centrifuge at 12000rpm for 30 seconds, use a micropipette to remove the supernatant as much as possible, and then wash once with 5 mL of NB broth (applied to PD205 and PC192) or TSB broth (applied to PM11) (centrifuge at 12000rpm for 30 seconds), and discard the supernatant. Use preheated NB broth (applied to PD205 and PC192) or TSB broth (applied to PM11) to suspend the precipitate (total volume of 5 mL) and mix thoroughly, quickly place it in a 37°C shaker with 170rpm shaking culture, take out 150 μL at time 0 and every 10 minutes, centrifuge at 10000rpm for 1 minute, and use the double-layer plate method to measure the titer, make 2 parallels, and take the average of the results.

[0118] With the infection time as the horizontal axis and the phage titer in the infection system as the vertical axis, a one-step growth curve was drawn to obtain the latent period and outbreak period of PD205, PC192 and PMQ01 phages, respectively, and the outbreak amount of phages was calculated.

[0119] Burst volume = phage concentration in stable period / initial bacterial concentration

[0120] 2. Test results and analysis

[0121] like Fig.13 and 14 As shown in the figure, after the Escherichia coli phage PD205 and the Salmonella phage PC192 infected the host bacteria, the titers remained basically unchanged within 30 minutes, and the titers were maintained at 10 6 PFU / mL and 10 7PFU / mL, indicating that the incubation period of PD205 and PC192 was 30 min; and within 40 to 90 min, both entered the outbreak period, with the number of phages increasing sharply, reaching a stable level after 90 min, reaching 10 9 PFU / mL and 10 10 PFU / mL, and the burst sizes of phages PD205 and PC192 were calculated to be 90 and 102, respectively.

[0122] like Fig.15 As shown in Figure 2, the titer of Clostridium perfringens phage PM11 remained at 10 within 40 minutes of infecting the host bacteria. 6 PFU / mL, indicating that the incubation period of PM11 is 40 minutes. Within 40 to 50 minutes, it enters the outbreak period, the phage titer increases sharply, and reaches a stable level after 60 minutes, reaching 10 9 PFU / mL, the burst period is about 20min, and the calculation shows that the burst volume of phage PM11 is 86. In summary, the burst volume of the three phages is high, especially phage PC192, which indicates that the yield of these phages is high in the same period and is suitable for industrial mass production.

[0123] Example 8 Lysis rate detection experiment of bacteriophage composition

[0124] 1. Detection of lysis rates of three different phage strains

[0125] ① Experimental method: Prepare fresh phage proliferation fluids PD205, PC192 and PM11, select a total of 90 pathogenic strains (30 strains of Escherichia coli, 30 strains of Salmonella and 30 strains of Clostridium perfringens) isolated from the liver and intestinal tissues of diseased chickens in Shandong, Jiangsu, Guangxi and other regions, and use the double-layer plate method to detect the lysis spectrum of the phage combination. The host bacteria information and lysis spectrum detailed results used in the test are shown in Table 2.

[0126] The results showed that the Escherichia coli phage PD205 lysed 24 of the 30 strains of Escherichia coli, with a lysis rate of 80% for Escherichia coli, but the total lysis rate for 90 pathogenic bacteria was 26.67%; the Salmonella phage PC192 lysed 28 of the 30 strains of Salmonella, with a lysis rate of 93.33% for Salmonella, but the total lysis rate for 90 pathogenic bacteria was 31.11%; the Clostridium perfringens phage PM11 could lyse 26 of the 30 strains of Clostridium perfringens, with a lysis rate of 86.67% for Clostridium perfringens, but the total lysis rate for 90 phage strains was 28.89%; and the total lysis rate of the phage combination for 90 pathogenic bacteria was 86.67%. It can be seen that the phage combination has a good lysis effect and broad spectrum for mixed infections of Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Clostridium perfringens, and its lysis ability is maximized, which effectively makes up for the limitations of the lysis spectrum of a single phage.

[0127] 2. Comparison of lysis performance with existing bacteriophages:

[0128] The phage PMQ06 disclosed in the patent application number CN202010691495.2 applied by the applicant was used to lyse the above 30 strains of Clostridium perfringens phage, and the lysis of the phage PMQ06 was compared with the Clostridium perfringens phage PM11 of the present application. The method is described above.

[0129] Experimental results: The Clostridium perfringens phage PMQ06 can only lyse 17 of the 30 strains of Clostridium perfringens mentioned above, with a lysis rate of 56.67%; while the Clostridium perfringens phage PM11 can lyse 26 of the 30 strains of Clostridium perfringens, with a lysis rate of 86.67%; it can be seen that the lysis rate of Clostridium perfringens phage PM11 against the above-mentioned chicken-derived Clostridium perfringens is significantly higher than that of PMQ06.

[0136] Example 9 Safety Test of Bacteriophage

[0137] 1. Experimental methods:

[0138] Sixty one-day-old SPF chickens were divided into experimental group 1 (15 chickens), experimental group 2 (15 chickens) and control group 1 (15 chickens) and control group 2 (15 chickens). Each chick in experimental group 1 was gavaged with 1×10 10 Each chick in the experimental group 2 was intramuscularly injected with 1×10 10 1 ml of the phage composition was added; 1 ml of sterile nutrient broth was administered orally to each chick in control groups 1 and 2. The chickens in each group were raised in the same environment for 2 weeks, and the clinical signs were observed, and the chickens were dissected to observe visceral and intestinal lesions.

[0139] 2. Experimental results and analysis

[0140] Two weeks after treatment with the phage composition, there were no significant differences in the clinical symptoms and autopsy results of the chickens in the two test groups compared with the control group. The chickens grew well, no deaths occurred, and no abnormal phenomena such as diarrhea, lethargy, drowsiness, ruffled feathers, and loss of appetite occurred. The autopsy results showed that there were no lesions in the internal organs and intestines of the chickens in the test group. The above results indicate that the phage composition is safe and has no toxic side effects.

[0141] Example 10 Experimental study on the treatment of chicken diarrhea caused by Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Clostridium perfringens using a bacteriophage composition

[0142] 1. Experimental methods:

[0143] A total of 120 7-day-old SPF chickens were divided into 6 groups (20 chickens / group), including a blank group, a challenge group, and a treatment group. The treatment group was further divided into 3 single phage treatment groups and 1 phage combination treatment group. The three bacterial liquids (Escherichia coli liquid, Salmonella liquid, and Clostridium perfringens liquid) were mixed at a ratio of 1:1:1 to 5×10 8 The chickens in the challenge group and the treatment group were challenged with the mixed bacterial solution of 1×10 CFU / mL orally (0.2 ml / chicken). After 50% of the chickens showed symptoms such as diarrhea or anal paste, the chickens in the treatment group were given 1×10 8 PFU / mL phage was used for oral treatment (0.2 ml / bird). After 5 consecutive days of treatment, the chickens were kept and observed for 14 days to observe the mortality, diarrhea and weight gain of the chickens. The live chickens were dissected to observe the pericardium, liver and intestinal lesions.

[0144] 2. Experimental results:

[0145] The results showed that there was no death in the blank group, and no symptoms of diarrhea, pericardial perihepatic and intestinal lesions; Fig.16As shown, the PD205 treatment group, PC192 treatment group, and PM11 treatment group can significantly reduce the diarrhea and mortality of chickens, respectively; and the therapeutic effect of the phage combination of the above three phage strains was greatly improved, the diarrhea rate of chickens in the treatment group decreased by 85%, and the mortality rate of chickens decreased by 76%, and the phage combination also reduced the degree of visceral and intestinal tissue lesions.

[0146] Obviously, the effect of the phage combination of PD205, PC192 and PM11 in reducing diarrhea rate and mortality rate is significantly better than that of a single phage.

[0147] Example 11 Experiment on the use of bacteriophage composition to prevent bacterial diarrhea in poultry farming

[0148] 1. Experimental methods:

[0149] Five duck houses with 10,000 25-day-old meat ducks were selected from a large-scale duck farm in Shandong Province and set up as follows: 4 experimental groups and 1 control group. The 4 experimental groups were divided into 3 different single phage groups (PD205 prevention group, PC192 prevention group, PM11 prevention group) and 1 phage combination group.

[0150] Phage PD205, PC192, PM11 and a combination of phages (the ratio of PD205, PC192, and PM11 was 1:1:1) were added to drinking water at a concentration of 1×10 7 pfu / mL. The chickens were fed with water containing bacteriophages within 3 hours after 25 days of age, and the water was used for 5 consecutive days until slaughter. The control group was fed with normal drinking water. The control group and the experimental group were fed normally according to the farm procedures to observe the diarrhea of ​​the chickens, and the survival rate, daily weight gain, and feed-to-meat ratio of the ducks were calculated.

[0151] 2. Experimental results and analysis

[0152] like Fig.17 As shown in the figure, after using drinking water with a bacteriophage added for prevention, the diarrhea rate of the duck farm was significantly reduced, but the degree of reduction was not as good as that of the experimental group using the bacteriophage combination. After using drinking water with a bacteriophage combination for prevention for 5 times, the diarrhea rate of the bacteriophage combination decreased by 16.00% compared with the blank control group, and the survival rate increased by 5.00%. The difference in diarrhea rate between the bacteriophage combination and the blank control group was extremely significant (P<0.01), indicating that the use of bacteriophage combination has a significant effect on preventing poultry bacterial diarrhea; at the same time, according to the daily weight gain of the chicken flock, daily feed consumption and feed-to-meat ratio, the use of bacteriophage combination can also improve the production performance of the chicken flock, laying the foundation for the promotion of bacteriophage as a green additive in the future.

[0153] Example 12: Experiment on disinfection of duck / chicken farm environment by bacteriophage

[0154] 1. Experimental methods

[0155] A white-feathered broiler farm in Shandong randomly selected 18 one-day-old chick houses, including 12 experimental groups, 3 control groups, and 3 blank control groups. The experimental groups included 3 single phage groups (3 phages / group) and a phage combination group. The experimental groups used drinking water from the farm to dilute the phage suspension (1×10 6 PFU / mL), 2 times / day, spraying volume is 10mL / m 2 The control group was sprayed with the same amount of 84 disinfectant twice a day, and the blank control group was raised according to routine operations. The changes in the content of Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Clostridium perfringens in the environment before and after disinfection were detected. The central point of the chicken house and 4 points in the corners were used as test points. The sampling point was 0.5m from the ground, and the four points in the corners were 1m away from the wall. A 9cm diameter SS plate (for testing Escherichia coli and Salmonella) and a 1% glucose-5% sheep blood culture medium (for testing Clostridium perfringens) were placed at each point. After sampling, the SS culture dish was placed in a 37℃ constant temperature incubator, and the 1% glucose-5% sheep blood culture dish was anaerobically cultured at 37℃. The number of bacterial colonies in each culture dish was recorded after 18-24h of culture.

[0156] According to the Ostwald formula, the total number of colonies was C = 50000N / AT, where C is the total number of colonies of the three bacteria per cubic meter (CFU / m 3 ); N: number of colonies per dish; A: area of ​​culture dish (cm 2 ); T: sampling time (min).

[0157] 2. Experimental results and analysis

[0158] like Fig.18As shown in the figure, the total content of Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Clostridium perfringens in the phage combination test group was lower than that in the control group (disinfection with 84 disinfectant) and the blank control group, and was also lower than that in the single phage group. This shows that the phage combination (PD205+PC192+PM11) can significantly reduce the total content of Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Clostridium perfringens in the environment and reduce the infection rate of the three bacteria. In addition, compared with the 84 disinfectant used in the control group, the phage combination has the advantages of safe use, efficient disinfection, no toxic side effects, and environmental friendliness. The advantages include no irritating odor when disinfecting with the bacteriophage composition, no irritation or damage to the respiratory mucosa of animals, no tolerance to pathogens when used for a long time, and the bacteriophage as a disinfectant can exist in the disinfection place for a long time, continuously inhibiting bacteria, and the disinfectant remaining in the phage disinfection (such as the feed trough, etc.) can be licked by animals, which is safer than 84 disinfectant. It can be seen that the bacteriophage disinfectant has a wider range of disinfection objects and disinfection environments, and has a better application prospect. Therefore, the bacteriophage and the composition (PD205+PC192+PM11) can be used as a new type of biological environmental disinfectant.

[0159] Example 13 Phage Lysis Test on Non-Host Bacteria

[0160] 1. Experimental methods

[0161] A total of 25 non-host bacteria, including 5 strains of Riemerella anatipestifer, 5 strains of Staphylococcus, 5 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 5 strains of Proteus, and 5 strains of Pasteurella, were selected, and lysis experiments were performed on the three bacteriophages according to the lysis spectrum determination method in Example 8.

[0162] 2. Experimental results and analysis

[0163] The results showed that Escherichia coli phage PD205, Salmonella phage PC192 and Clostridium perfringens phage PM11 did not lyse the 25 non-host bacteria selected above. Detailed information is shown in Table 3. The results showed that Escherichia coli phage PD205, Salmonella phage PC192 and Clostridium perfringens phage PM11 could not recognize the above-mentioned 5 strains of Riemerella anatipestifer, 5 strains of Staphylococcus aeruginosa, 5 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 5 strains of Proteus, and 5 strains of Pasteurella multocida, which shows that the tested phages have extremely strong host specificity and have no damaging effect on the microbial community.
