본 연구는 다양한 항생제 내성을 갖는 Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium ATCC 19585 (STWT), S. Typhimurium KCCM 40253 (STKCCM), ciprofloxacininduced S. Typhimurium ATCC 19585 strains (STCIP), and S. Typhimurium CCARM 8009 (STCCARM)에 대한 phage의 흡착 및 용균 특성을 평가하였다. PBST-10, PBST-13, PBST-32, PBST-35, P-22, P-22 B1 phages는 narrow host range를 보였다. 숙주인 STWT, STKCCM, STCIP에 대한 phage 의 흡착률은 각각 47-85%, 58-95%, 61-93%였지만, STCCARM 에 대한 phage의 흡착률은 14-36%의 낮은 수준을 보였다. STWT, STKCCM, STCIP, STCCARM에 대한 phage burst size는 각 각 43-350, 37-530, 66-500, 24-500 plaque-forming unit (PFU)으로 다양하게 관찰되었다. P-22 B1을 제외한 모든 phage는 배양 초기에 STCIP숙주를 효과적으로 저해하였다. 이러한 결과는 항생제 내성균을 저해하기 위해 phage control system 개발에 유용한 정보로 활용될 것이다.

This study was designed to investigate the dynamic behaviors of phages against Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium ATCC 19585 (STWT), S. Typhimurium KCCM 40253 (STKCCM), ciprofloxacin- induced S. Typhimurium ATCC 19585 strains (STCIP), and S. Typhimurium CCARM 8009 (STCCARM). Phages, including PBST-10, PBST-13, PBST-32, PBST-35, P-22, and P-22 B1 had narrow host ranges. The adsorption rates of all phages ranged from 47 to 85%, 58 to 95%, and 61 to 93%, respectively, against STWT, STKCCM, and STCIP, while the lowest adsorption rates ranged from 14 to 36% against STCCARM. The phage burst sizes were from 43 to 350, 37 to 530, 66 to 500, and 24 to 500 plaque-forming units (PFUs) per infected STWT, STKCCM, STCIP, and STCCARM, respectively. The STCIP strain was effectively inhibited by all phages at the early of incubation period. These results provide useful information for better understanding the phage behaviors against antibiotic-resistant and antibiotic-sensitive pathogens.
