description Bacteriophages are extensively employed across various fields, including medicine, veterinary medicine, the food industry, agriculture, biotechnology, and pharmacy, owing to their numerous advantages. These advantages include rapid clearance of pathogens, self-propagation at the infection site, host specificity, potential for genetic modification, ease of isolation, stability, and low production costs. This study isolated a bacteriophage from shrimp pond wastewater in the Mekong Delta region. The bacteriophage was identified as a lytic bacteriophage belonging to the genus Bruyoghevirus, class Caudoviricetes, with the ability to effectively lyse three bacterial strains: V. parahaemolyticus, Salmonella enteritidis, and Salmonella typhimurium. Growth curve analysis revealed variations in the latency period and the number of phages produced during the life cycle across all three hosts. Bacteriophage Produced 117, 176, and 52 PFU/cell against V. parahaemolyticus, S. enteritidis, and S. typhimurium, respectively. Phage ST1749 demonstrated activity across a broad range of temperatures (-20 °C to 70 °C) and pH levels (2 to 10), with optimal stability observed at pH 5 to 7. Furthermore, phage ST1749 exhibited biofilm-degrading and lytic capabilities against the three bacterial strains studied. These findings suggest that phage ST1749 has the potential to serve as a biocontrol agent for treating infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
