Identification of Salmonella with the O-1 bacteriophage.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The O-1 bacteriophage test of Cherry et al. (1954) for the presumptive identification of salmonellae in the diagnostic laboratory was investigated. A phage lysate with a titer of 10(12) plaque-forming units per ml was found to be optimal. This preparation lysed 98.2% of Salmonella strains tested, while maintaining its high specificity for salmonellae. Gram-negative organisms other than salmonellae were resistant to the O-1 phage; however, 5.9% of Escherichia coli strains tested were susceptible. The O-1 phage test is a simple, rapid, inexpensive, sensitive, and specific procedure for the identification of salmonellae in the diagnostic laboratory. A presumptive identification is obtained 1 day earlier than with conventional biochemical tests.

Background: Salmonellosis is a gastroenteritis caused by the infection with different serotypes of Salmonella. Salmonella enterica is an enterica subtype, enteritidis, typhimurium, and infantis are the most important factors of gastroenteritis in humans. In recent years, increasingly commonly used antibiotics and treatments are resistant. The main purpose of this study was to compare the antiba...
