Abstract

Abstract:

In order to analyze biological characteristics of Shigella flexneri (S. flexneri) phage and its sterilization effect in milk, the lytic S. flexneri phage SF-A2 was isolated from sewage. Electron microscope observation showed that purified phage SF-A2 was a member of family Myoviridae. Based on its biological characteristic assay, phage SF-A2 exhibited the tolerance to temperature and pH. In addition, phage SF-A2 could effectively inactivate S. flexneri. After adding phage SF-A2 for 48 h, the concentration of S. flexneri was reduced by 103 folds compared with the host control. After 72 h incubation, the concentration of S. flexneri was declined to the limit of detection. Therefore, SF-A2 is a virulent bacteriophage and can effectively inactivate S. flexneri in ready-to-eat milk. It will be a good biological control agent for food safety and also an efficient antimicrobial source for diarrhea.

Key words: Shigella flexneri, bacteriophage, biological control
