- Abstract
The article studies the isolation of Salmonella Bacteriophages from swine effluent lagoons in Mississippi. Phages were isolated by an enrichment protocol or directly from effluent. In limited host range tests, 66 isolates recovered by the enrichment protocol produced plaques only on Enteriditis and Typhimurium strains of Salmonella and none produced plaques on lagoon isolates of Citrobacterm Escherichia, Proteus, Providencia, or Serratia. Electron microscopy (EM) showed purified enrichment isolates had Podoviridae morphology. EM of clarified concentrated effluent showed 5.5:1 tailless to tailed phages. The isolated phages have potential as typing reagents, specific indicators, and biocontrol agents of Salmonella.
