Abstract:
A Salmonella bacteriophage,PJN025,was isolated from wastewater and characterized for its biological properties,including whole-genome sequencing and assessment of therapeutic poten-tial in animal infection models.Transmission electron microscopy classified it within the Caudovi-ricetes family.PJN025 selectively lysed S.typhimurium and S.enteritidis with an incubation period of approximately 10 min,a burst time of 80 min,and an average burst size of approximately 132 PFU/cell,demonstrating effective bactericidal activity.The phage showed robust stability at temperatures ranging from 30 to 70 ℃ and pH levels from 3 to 12.Whole-genome sequencing re-vealed a complete genome length of 46 478 bp with a G+C content of 45.9%,consisting of 82 open reading frames and one tRNA.No known virulence or resistance genes were found.In Galleria mellonella infection model,a survival rate of 70%was achieved with a preventative dose of 1 × 108 PFU/mL PJN025,compared to a 5%survival rate in the positive control group after 48 h of bacterial challenge.In SPF mice infected with S.typhimurium via intraperitoneal injection,all mices in the positive control group died within five days.However,in the co-infection group treated with 1×108 PFU/mL PJN025,a promising survival rate of 60%was observed.This study showed that the bacteriophage PJN025 had strong specificity,high lytic efficiency,good acid and alkali tol-erance,strong heat resistance,and good safety and prevention effects,providing materials and ex-perimental basis for the development of subsequent phage products.
