Isolation, characterization and liposome-loaded encapsulation of a novel virulent Salmonella phage vB-SeS-01 by Yuhang Luo, Jacques Mahillon, Lin Sun, Ziqiong You, Xiaomin Hu

“…IntroductionSalmonella is a common foodborne pathogenic bacterium, displaying facultative intracellular parasitic behavior, which can help the escape against antibiotics treatment. Bacteriophages have the potential to control both intracellular and facultative intracellular bacteria and can be developed as antibiotic alternatives.MethodsThis study isolated and characterized vB-SeS-01, a novel Guernseyvirinae phage preying on Salmonella enterica, whose genome is closely related to those of phages SHWT1 and vB-SenS-EnJE1. …”
