Popis: With the increase in antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella, phages have been paid more attention to as an alternative to antibiotics. In this study, a phage designated as SP76 was isolated from sewage. It can lyse several serotypes of Salmonella, including S. typhimurium (21/33), S. enteritidis (7/7), S. dublin (4/4), S. pullorum (2/2) and S. choleraesuis (1/2). SP76 showed a latent time of about 10 min, and maintained good lytic activity at a pH range of 3-10 and temperatures between 4 and 37 °C. Moreover, its optimal multiplicity of infection (MOI) was 0.0001. Based on the results of genomic sequence and analysis, SP76 was found to have a genome of 111,639 bp that encoded 166 predicted ORFs and belong to the Demerecviridae family, order Caudovirales. No virulence or lysogen formation gene clusters were identified in the SP76 genome. A pan-genome analysis based on 100 phages within the subfamily Markadamsvirinae indicated that SP76 had 23 core genes and 1199 accessory genes. We grouped the subfamily Markadamsvirinae and found that the main difference was in group III. In vitro bacteriostasis, experiments showed that the phage SP76 reduced planktonic bacteria by 1.52 log10 CFU/mL, and biofilms (24 h old) by 0.372 log10 CFU/mL, respectively. Thus, we isolated a safe and efficient phage that might be a good antibacterial agent.
