A lytic bacteriophage (SGP-1) against Salmonella gallinarum (S. gallinarum) was isolated by an enrichment protocol from the sewage water of a poultry farm. The presence of bacteriophage was observed by spot test over the bacterial lawn and double agar overlay assay. Isolated phage was able to produce clear, circular plaques of 2-3mm diameter on S. gallinarum lawn culture. This Bacteriophage also had a lytic effect on Salmonella typhimurium. The bacteriophage SGP-1 was found to be stable at a temperature range between 4oC to 60oC for 30 min and able to survive in a wide range of pH between 2 to 11. The characterization of the bacteriophage would help establish a basis for adopting the application of the most effective bacteriophage therapeutics to control bacterial infection of poultry.
