Use of Bacteriophages to Improve Food Safety

Bacteriophages in food safety

Bacteriophages (phages) are naturally occurring viruses of bacteria that only infect and multiply within their specific bacterial hosts [1, 2]. Their host specificity is generally restricted at strain level, species level, or, more rarely, at the genus or class level. This specificity has allowed for directed targeting and killing of pathogenic bacteria using phages in what is referred to as ph...

Food Safety: Alternatives to Antibiotic Use

ufactured feeds that complement specific forages. For example, when alfalfa hay is used, the amounts of protein and calcium included in the concentrate can be significantly reduced. However, horse owners often have difficulty distinguishing among forages, making the successful application of this approach difficult. The approach with the most potential to reduce nutrient excretion by horses wou...
