The present invention relates to a novel bacteriophage CJ28 (KCCM11466P) and a composition containing the same as an active ingredient. Further, the present invention relates to a method for preventing and/or treating infective diseases caused by enterotoxic Escherichia coli (ETEC) of animals excluding humans by using the composition. A bacteriophage CJ28 (KCCM11466P) has a specific ability to kill enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.

Methods and compositions are provided for preventing or reducing symptoms or disease associated with Xylella fastidiosa or Xanthomonas axonopodis in a plant. The invention provides novel bacteriophages virulent to Xylella fastidiosa or Xanthomonas axonopodis, including XfaMija and XfaMijo, and further provides methods for treating or preventing Pierce's Disease or Citrus Canker in plants.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for rapid detection of microorganisms in a sample. A genetically modified bacteriophage is also disclosed which comprises an indicator gene in the late gene region. The specificity of the bacteriophage, such as Salmonella-specific bacteriophage, allows detection of a specific microorganism, such as Salmonella spp. and an indicator signal may be amplified to optimize assay sensitivity.

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for rapid detection of microorganisms in a sample, without culturing for enrichment of the microorganism. A modified bacteriophage is also disclosed which comprises a non-native indicator gene in the late gene region. The indicator product is not a fusion protein. The specificity of infectious agents allows a specific microorganism to be targeted, and an indicator signal may be amplified to optimize assay sensitivity.

The present invention relates to bacteriophage therapy. More particularly, the present invention relates to novel bacteriophages having a high specificity against Staphylococcus aureus strains, their manufacture, components thereof, compositions comprising the same and the uses thereof in phage therapy and as companion diagnostic.

The present invention relates to a new cocktail of bacteriophages with specific lytic activity against Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella paratyphi B., for reducing, eliminating and/or preventing them in farm animals and animals from the poultry sector, such as poultry, hens and breeding hens, in addition to eggs. It may be administered as an additive in the feed, in water or by spray. Moreover, the cocktail may be used as a disinfectant in work areas of farms and abattoirs, and in processed foods, without affecting the organoleptic properties of the product.

The present disclosure includes methods and systems of detecting bacteria in a sample using phage-functionalized sensors, methods of enriching a sample with phage-functionalized magnetic particles, phage-functionalized magnetic particles and methods of making phage-functionalized magnetic particles.
