The invention discloses a lytic
salmonella pullorum
bacteriophage and application thereof.The
bacteriophage is provided with a polyhedral head and a contractile
tail, the
average diameter of the head is about 71 nm, the
average diameter of the
tail is about 126 nm, the
bacteriophage belongs to the muscular
tail bacteriophage family, and the bacteriophage can split 15
salmonella pullorum strains in 18
salmonella clinical isolates and can be used for treating
salmonella pullorum. The
incubation period is about 40 minutes, the
cracking period is about 170 minutes, and the
cracking amount reaches 142 PFU /
cell. The lytic
salmonella pullorum bacteriophage, the lytic
salmonella pullorum bacteriophage and the separated bacteriophage have the advantages of wide host spectrum, high splitting efficiency, low optimal infection complex number, low production cost and the like,
clinical tests show that the death rate of infected chickens can be remarkably reduced, the
detection rate of salmonella in visceral organs is reduced, and the application prospect is wide. The salmonella pullorum prevention and control agent can effectively prevent and control salmonella pullorum, relieve
pathological injuries, purify chicken flocks after long-term use, improve the laying rate and the laying quality, and provide a novel safe, efficient, economical and environment-friendly salmonella pullorum prevention and control scheme for poultry breeding industry.
