  • Publication number: 20130273635
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bacteriophage PA1? belonging to family Siphoviridae, characterized that it is capable of killing one or more bacteria strains selected from a group comprising Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus homonis, Shigella sonnei, Listeria monocytogenes and Streptococcus pneumonia, and contains a full-length genome of SEQ ID NO: 1. According to the present invention, the bacteriophage PA1? can be used to kill said bacteria and reduce the same effectively. Also, it can be used to remove biofilms generated by said bacteria. Especially, this bacteriophage is applicable for medical industry, food industry, biotechnology and the like, because it is a sort of virus that kills host bacteria without any adverse effect on human, animals and so on. In addition, this bacteriophage can kill noxious bacteria on target sites or target supports without any problem related with resistance development of bacteria.
