[PMID: 37509808 PMCID: PMC10379269 DOI: 10.3390/foods12142716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Limosilactobacillus fermentum is a bacterium widely used in food production, medicine, and industrial fermentation. However, fermentation could fail due to phage contamination. L. fermentum bacteriophage LFP02 can be induced from L. fermentum IMAU 32579 using mitomycin C. To better understand the characteristics of this phage, its physiological and genomic characteristics were evaluated. The results showed that its optimal multiplicity of infection was 0.01, and the burst size was 148.03 ± 2.65 pfu/infective center. Compared to temperature, pH had a more obvious influence on phage viability, although its adsorption capacity was not affected by the divalent cations (Ca2+ and Mg2+) or chloramphenicol. Its genome size was 43,789 bp and the GC content was 46.06%, including 53 functional proteins. Compared to other L. fermentum phages, phage LFP02 had chromosome deletion, insertion, and inversion, which demonstrated that it was a novel phage. This study could expand the knowledge of the biological characteristics of L. fermentum bacteriophages and provide some theoretical basis for bacteriophage prevention during fermentation.

Hou Y, Wu Z, Ren L, Chen Y, Zhang YA, Zhou Y. Characterization and application of a lytic jumbo phage ZPAH34 against multidrug-resistant Aeromonas hydrophila. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1178876. [PMID: 37415809 PMCID: PMC10321303 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1178876] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila is an emerging foodborne pathogen causing human gastroenteritis. Aeromonas species isolated from food such as seafood presented multidrug-resistance (MDR), raising serious concerns regarding food safety and public health. The use of phages to infect bacteria is a defense against drug-resistant pathogens. In this study, phage ZPAH34 isolated from the lake sample exerted lytic activity against MDR A. hydrophila strain ZYAH75 and inhibited the biofilm on different food-contacting surfaces. ZPAH34 has a large dsDNA genome of 234 kb which belongs to a novel jumbo phage. However, its particle size is the smallest of known jumbo phages so far. Based on phylogenetic analysis, ZPAH34 was used to establish a new genus Chaoshanvirus. Biological characterization revealed that ZPAH34 exhibited wide environmental tolerance, and a high rapid adsorb and reproductive capacity. Food biocontrol experiments demonstrated that ZPAH34 reduces the viable count of A. hydrophila on fish fillets (2.31 log) and lettuce (3.28 log) with potential bactericidal effects. This study isolated and characterized jumbo phage ZPAH34 not only enriched the understanding of phage biological entity diversity and evolution because of its minimal virion size with large genome but also was the first usage of jumbo phage in food safety to eliminate A. hydrophila.

Application of a novel phage vB_SalS-LPSTLL for the biological control of Salmonella in foods. Food Res Int 2021; 147:110492. [PMID: 34399488 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2021.110492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2021] [Revised: 05/06/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Salmonella is one of the most common foodborne pathogens around the world. Phages are envisioned as a new strategy to control foodborne pathogenic bacteria and food safety. A Salmonella specific lytic phage vB_SalS-LPSTLL (LPSTLL) was selected for food applications on the basis of lytic range, lytic efficiency, functional stability and characteristics. Phage LPSTLL was able to lyse 11 Salmonella serotypes, which represents the broadest range reported Salmonella phages, and was able to suppress the growth of Salmonella enterica in liquid culture over nine hours. LPSTLL exhibited rapid reproductive activity with a short latent period and a large burst size in one-step growth experiment. LPSTLL remained active over a pH range of 3.0 to 12.0, and at incubation temperatures up to 60 °C for 60 min, indicating wide applicability for food processing and storage. Significant reductions of viable Salmonella were observed in diverse foods (milk, apple juice, chicken and lettuce) with reductions up to 2.8 log CFU/mL recorded for milk. Sensory evaluation indicated that treatment with phage LPSTLL did not alter the visual or tactile quality of food matrices. Genome analysis of LPSTLL indicated the absence of any virulence or antimicrobial resistance genes. Genomic comparisons suggest phage LPSTLL constitutes a novel member of a new genus, the LPSTLLvirus with the potential for Salmonella biocontrol in the food industry.
