Abstract

Bacteriophages are viruses that exclusively infect bacterial cells, and lytic bacteriophages can be used as a safe alternative to antibiotics for the prevention and treatment of animal diseases. In this study, we attempted to isolate and characterize bacteriophages for Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum (Salmonella Gallinarum), the causative agent of fowl typhoid in chickens. Ten bacteriophages were isolated from samples of sewage from seven poultry slaughterhouses. One of these isolate, designated as $SG{\Phi}-YS$ SP and classified in the family Myoviridae, produced plaques with seven Salmonella Gallinarum strains. However, no plaques were produced with any of the Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis strains tested, suggesting that this bacteriophage is Salmonella Gallinarum specific. To assess the lytic ability of $SG{\Phi}-YS$ SP against Salmonella Gallinarum, bacterial growth rates following inoculation of the bacteriophage were compared with the control. The $SG{\Phi}-YS$ SP treatment, with a multiplicity of infection of 10, reduced the growth of Salmonella Gallinarum by 2.21 log cfu/mL at 6 h, and 2.13 log cfu/mL at 9 h, suggesting that this bacteriophage isolate could be used for the prevention or treatment of Salmonella Gallinarum infection in chickens.

박테리오파지는 세균에 특이적으로 감염하는 바이러스로 용해 능력이 있는 박테리오파지는 동물질병을 치료하는 항생제 대체제로 사용할 수 있다. 본 연구는 닭에서 가금티푸스를 유발하는 Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum(Salmonella Gallinarum)에 대한 박테리오파지를 분리하고, 그 특성을 구명하고자 하였다. 7개의 닭 도축장 하수 처리장 물로부터 10주의 박테리오파지를 분리하였다. 이중 $SG{\Phi}-YS$ SP로 명명된 파지는 전자현미경 관찰 결과, Myoviridae family로 분류되었다. 분리한 박테리오파지의 숙주 범위를 확인하기 위하여 Salmonella Gallinarum 7주와 Salmonella Enteritidis 5주에 대한 용해 유발능력을 조사한 결과, $SG{\Phi}-YS$ SP는 Salmonella Gallinarum만 용해하는 특징을 보였다. $SG{\Phi}-YS$ SP는 Salmonella Gallinarum에 접종하였을 경우 6시간과 9시간 뒤 각각 2.21 log cfu/mL 및 2.13 log cfu/mL를 감소시키는 것으로 확인되어 닭에서 Salmonella Gallinarum 감염을 예방하거나 치료하는 파지 제제 개발에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.
