Bacteriophages are the viruses of prokaryotes that can either instantly kill a bacterial cell or integrate their genome into the host chromosome. In this study, potent lytic phages were isolated from the natural resources. They were characterized and their infectivity abilities against specific pathogens were checked. Saclac globule formulations using efficient phages were prepared and their shelf-life was checked at 4ºC and 30 ºC. Efficacy of saclac globule monovalent formulations of indigenous φ SPB (Salmonella phage) and BVPaP-3 (Pseudomonas phage) were evaluated against Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi B and Pseudomonas aeruginosa respectively in the water microcosms prepared using river water and swimming pool water spiked independently with the mentioned respect... view more»
