Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of microbial technology, and in particular to a Salmonella bacteriophage ensemble and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Salmonella is an important zoonotic pathogen with a broad host spectrum, capable of infecting humans and various animal hosts, and is one of the most threatening foodborne pathogens. Epidemiological data shows that Salmonella infection is the third leading cause of diarrhea-related mortality. Poultry is an important host for Salmonella infection. Poultry infected with most Salmonella serotypes often exhibit an asymptomatic carrier state, a characteristic that leads to its frequent overlooking during prevention and control. However, these carrier strains in poultry can enter the food chain through contaminated poultry meat and egg products, posing a potential threat to food safety and public health. Therefore, eradicating Salmonella infecting or colonizing the intestines of poultry is of great significance. The overuse of antibiotics has led to increasingly serious multidrug resistance in avian Salmonella, challenging traditional prevention and control methods.

[0003] Bacteriophages offer unique advantages as novel antibacterial agents, but clinically infectious Salmonella infections involve diverse serotypes, and the bactericidal spectrum of a single phage cannot effectively cover multiple serotypes. Furthermore, the action of a single phage on bacteria easily leads to phage resistance, resulting in decreased or even ineffective phage efficacy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop phage combinations with broad-spectrum antibacterial capabilities that are less prone to inducing phage resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Salmonella phage ensemble and its application to solve the problems existing in the prior art. This phage ensemble can effectively lyse various serotypes of Salmonella and is not prone to inducing phage resistance during repeated use. Therefore, it provides a green, safe, and efficient biological control method for controlling Salmonella infection in poultry farming, and also shows good application prospects for controlling Salmonella contamination in poultry production environments.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution:

[0006] This invention provides a Salmonella sp. phage combination, including phage BPLT2, phage BP13076 and phage BPSCBS;

[0007] The bacteriophage BPLT2 was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) on June 24, 2025, at Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, with accession number CCTCC NO: M 20251473.

[0057] 2.3 Phage Preservation

[0058] Salmonella sp. phage BPLT2 was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) on June 24, 2025, at Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, with accession number CCTCC NO: M20251473.

[0059] Salmonella sp. phage BP13076 was deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) on June 24, 2025, at Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, with accession number CCTCC NO: M 20251472.

[0060] Salmonella sp. phage BPSCBS was deposited on June 24, 2025, at the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC), Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, with accession number CCTCC NO: M 20251471.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] The following performance tests were performed on bacteriophages BPLT2, BP13076, and BPSCBS:

[0063] 1. Determination of the thermal stability of bacteriophages

[0064] Take 100 μL of phage fluid from each centrifuge tube and place them into six 1.5 mL sterile EP tubes. Incubate the tubes at 30℃-80℃ (each 10℃ interval) for 1 h, then add 900 μL of SM buffer to each tube. Determine the titer using the bilayer plate method, repeating three times.

[0065] The results of the phage thermal stability test are shown in [the table below]. Figure 2 The results showed that bacteriophage BPLT2 had a 100% survival rate at temperatures below 60°C, but was largely inactivated at temperatures above 60°C, and completely inactivated at 80°C. Bacteriophage BPSCBS began to show slight inactivation with increasing temperature; after 1 hour of treatment at 50°C, the survival rate was greater than 85%, but it decreased to less than 80% at 60°C and less than 1% at 70°C. Bacteriophage BP13076 showed slight inactivation with increasing temperature before reaching 60°C, maintaining a survival rate greater than 95% at 60°C, but was completely inactivated at 70°C.

[0066] In summary, all three bacteriophage strains can tolerate temperatures below 70°C.

[0067] 2. Determination of pH stability of bacteriophages

[0068] Take 100 μL of phage fluid into each of 11 sterile 1.5 mL EP tubes, add 900 μL of SM buffer (pH 2-12) sequentially, and incubate at room temperature for 1 h. Then, serially dilute 10-fold with SM buffer of the same pH, and determine the titer using the bilayer plate method, repeating 3 times.

[0069] The results of the phage pH stability test are as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the figure. The results showed that the titers of the three bacteriophages were relatively stable between pH 4 and 10. When the pH was less than 4, the bacteriophages were rapidly inactivated. When the pH dropped to 3, the survival rate of bacteriophages BPLT2 and BP13076 was less than 1%. When the pH was 2, the three bacteriophages were completely inactivated. When the pH was greater than 10, the titers of the three bacteriophages decreased rapidly, and when the pH was 12, the bacteriophage survival rate was 0.

[0070] In summary, the pH tolerance range of the three bacteriophage strains is 4-10.

[0071] 3. Optimal Multiple of Infection (MOI) Measurement

[0072] Phages were mixed with an equal volume of host bacteria at different MOIs (MOI = 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001). The mixtures were incubated at 37°C for 10 min, centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min to remove unadsorbed phage particles, resuspended the precipitate in 5 mL of LB medium, and then incubated at 37°C on a shaker at 180 rpm for 4 h. The titer was determined using the double-layer plate method, repeated 3 times, to determine the optimal MOI for the phages.

[0073] The results of the optimal multiplicity of infection (MOI) for bacteriophages are shown in Table 1. The results show that at MOIs of 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001, the titer of the bacteriophages first increases and then decreases as the MOI decreases. When MOI = 0.01, the titers of bacteriophages BPLT2, BPSCBS, and BP13076 reach their highest values, at 3.57 × 10⁻⁶. 10 PFU / mL, 6.6×10 10 PFU / mL and 3.67×10 11 PFU / mL indicates that the optimal MOI is 0.01.

[0074] Table 1 Results of optimal MOI determination for bacteriophages

[0075]

[0076] 4. One-step growth curve determination

[0077] The host bacteria were cultured to the logarithmic phase and adjusted to OD using a spectrophotometer. 600 =0.5, after adding phage at the optimal MOI of 0.01, the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 10 min, centrifuged at 10000 rpm for 10 min to remove unadsorbed phage particles, resuspended the precipitate in 5 mL of LB medium, and incubated at 37°C on a shaker at 180 rpm for 2 h. Every 10 min, 100 μL of the supernatant was mixed with 100 μL of host bacteria, and the titer was determined using the double-layer plate method, repeated 3 times. The lysis rate (PFU / cell) = final phage titer / initial bacterial titer.

[0078] The results of the one-step growth curve detection are shown below. Figure 4 The results showed that phage BPLT2 entered the latent phase within 0-10 min, with no significant change in titer. After 10 min, the phage titer increased significantly, indicating the start of the lysis phase, with a maximum titer of 5.01 × 10⁻⁶. 10The lysis rate reached a stationary phase after 100 min, with a lysis yield of approximately 62.63 PFU / cell. For phages BPSCBS and BP13076, there was no latent period, and no obvious stationary phase was observed even after 120 min; the lysis period was relatively long, with a titer reaching 6.6 × 10⁻⁶. 10 PFU / mL and 3.67×10 11 The PFU / mL lysis rates were 82.5 PFU / cell and 458.75 PFU / cell, respectively.

[0079] Example 3: In vitro bactericidal effect of bacteriophage combination

[0080] 1. Lysis of major clinically prevalent Salmonella serotypes by a phage ensemble (BPLT2, BP13076, and BPSCBS in a 1:1:1 ratio).

[0081] The lysis of 165 mainstream Salmonella serotypes (Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella Indiana, and Salmonella pullorum) isolated clinically by single bacteriophages and bacteriophage combinations was determined. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the results indicated that BPLT2 could lyse 156 Salmonella strains with a lysis rate of 94.55%, while the lysis rates of BPSCBS and BP13076 were 84.85% (140 / 165) and 89.09% (147 / 165), respectively. When the two phages BPLT2 and BPSCBS were combined, the lysis rate reached 95.76% (158 / 165). When the three phages were combined, the lysis rate reached 100% (165 / 165).

[0082] 2. Lysis of various Salmonella serotypes by phage assemblies

[0083] The lysis of 39 different serotypes by single bacteriophages and bacteriophage combinations (BPLT2, BP13076, and BPSCBS in a 1:1:1 ratio) was determined, and the results are shown in Table 2. The bacteriophage combinations could induce lysis in all 39 typical serotypes, with a lysis rate of 100%. However, a single bacteriophage could not completely lyse all 39 different serotypes.

[0084] Table 2. Lysis results of phage combinations on 39 different serotypes of Salmonella.

[0087] Note: "+" indicates that it can be split, and "-" indicates that it cannot be split.

[0088] 3. Bactericidal efficacy of bacteriophage assemblies

[0089] The inhibitory effects of three bacteriophage strains on Salmonella were tested within 8 hours, both individually and in combination (BPLT2, BP13076, and BPSCBS in a 1:1:1 ratio). Salmonella Typhimurium LT2 was selected as the host bacterium. The host bacterium was cultured to the logarithmic growth phase and divided into four tubes, corresponding to BPLT2, BPSCBS, BP13076, and the bacteriophage combination, respectively. The OD of each tube was adjusted using a spectrophotometer. 600 =0.2. Valence 10 5 1 mL of PFU / mL phage was added to each EP tube. All EP tubes were placed in a 37°C shaker at 180 rpm and incubated for 8 hours. Starting from 0 h, 100 μL of culture medium was taken every 1 hour, diluted to the appropriate concentration with LB medium, and spread onto LB agar plates using a spreader. The plates were incubated upside down at 37°C for 8 hours. The Salmonella content was calculated based on the colony count. The results are shown in the table below. Figure 6 .

[0090] Bacteriophage BPLT2 showed significant bactericidal effect within 6 hours, reducing the Salmonella content from the initial 1.99 × 10⁻⁶. 7 CFU / mL decreased to 1.51×10 3 CFU / mL, bacterial count began to increase at 7 hours, and the Salmonella count was approximately 3.16 × 10⁻⁶ at the end of 8 hours. 4 CFU / mL. Phages BPSCBS and BP13076 showed moderate bactericidal effects, with bacterial counts exceeding the initial bacterial counts at 8 hours. The Salmonella count in the phage combination group continued to decline, decreasing by approximately 6 log10 orders of magnitude at 8 hours.

[0091] 4. Development of phage resistance

[0092] Add 100 μL of Salmonella Typhimurium and 100 μL of bacteriophage to 900 μL of LB medium. Subculture for 24 consecutive days, one generation per day. After determining the bacterial concentration of each generation mixture, dilute to 10⁻¹⁰ with SM buffer. 5 PFU / mL, take 100 μL of the dilution and spread it evenly on an LB agar plate using a sterile spreader. Invert the plate and incubate at 37°C for 8 hours. Randomly select colonies (100 colonies per generation) to determine if they are resistant strains and calculate the resistance rate.

[0093] Results of the test for the proportion of resistant bacteria are as follows Figure 7As shown, when a single bacteriophage was co-cultured with Salmonella Typhimurium, resistant bacteria were screened on the first day. The percentage of resistant bacteria screened increased with each passing day, reaching over 80% by day 4. A mixture of two bacteriophages, BPLT2+BPSCBS, and Salmonella only showed resistant bacteria on the fifth day, after which the screening rate for resistant bacteria increased significantly. A three-phage combination, BPLT2+BPSCBS+BP13076 (BPLT2, BP13076, and BPSCBS in a 1:1:1 ratio), was passaged with Salmonella for 21 consecutive days, but no resistant bacteria were developed.

[0094] Example 4: Colonization of Salmonella in Chicken Intestinal Entrance and Bacteriophage Treatment Experiment

[0095] The experimental chickens were divided into a healthy group, a Salmonella infection group, and a phage treatment group (BPLT2 treatment group, BPSCBS treatment group, BP13076 treatment group, and phage combination treatment group, wherein the ratio of BPLT2, BP13076, and BPSCBS in the phage combination treatment group was 1:1:1). On the second day, all chickens except the healthy group were given Salmonella LT2 via gavage, with each chicken receiving 500 μL of 10 μL of Salmonella LT2. 9 CFU / mL, once daily, 500 μL each time, for 7 consecutive days. On day 11, start feeding phage, 500 μL per animal. 10 PFU / mL, once a day, for 3 consecutive days. Weigh the chickens every 7 days to calculate their weight gain and count Salmonella.

[0096] Salmonella count results are as follows Figure 8 As shown in the figure. The results showed that the Salmonella content in the chick feces at the end of the eighth day of force-feeding was 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. 9 CFU / g. When phage feeding began on day 11, the Salmonella content started to decrease, with a decrease of approximately 2 log₁₀ in the single-strain phage treatment group and approximately 3 log₁₀ in the phage combination treatment group. At the end of phage feeding on day 14, the Salmonella content in the single-strain phage treatment group dropped to 10 CFU / g. 4 The levels were around CFU / g, with the phage combination treatment group having only about 200 CFU / g. As time progressed, the Salmonella content in the feces began to slowly decrease, and by day 21, Salmonella was undetectable in the phage combination treatment group. On day 35, the Salmonella content in the phage BPLT2 and phage BP13076 treatment groups was also 0, while the phage BPSCBS treatment group had 5 CFU / g, and the infected colonization group still contained 10 CFU / g. 4 Salmonella at around CFU / g.
