Characterization of a Wide Host-Range Cronobacter sakazakii Bacteriophage and Its Application in Milk Products

Bacteriophage TBC-1 was isolated from sewage using Cronobacter sakazakii ATCC25944 as the host.Observation under electron microscope revealed that TBC-1 displayed a contractile tail;the shape of its capsid was an icosahedron.It had a wide host range.The multiplicity of infection(MOI)of the bacteriophage was 0.001.The one-step growth curve showed that its latent time was 20 min;the outbreak period was 50 min;the number of outbreak was 100 PFU/cell.TBC-1 maintained its high titer at 40–50℃and pH 4–10.In addition,C.sakazakii showed stronger lytic ability at higher MOI.The complete genome was 85313 bp in length and the content of GC was 40.65%.It had 118 protein coding sequences(CDSs)and 24 tRNAs.The bacteriostatic effect of the bacteriophage on C.sakazakii ATCC25944 and ATCCBAA894 in milk products was investigated.It turned out that after incubation at 25℃for 3 h with MOI=106,both strains at 102 CFU/mL in milk were inhibited to below the detection limit.After incubation at 25 or 37℃for 3 h,ATCCBAA894 was inhibited to below the detection limit;after incubation at 25℃for 3–12 h,ATCC25944 was inhibited to below the detection limit.The results showed that the phage exhibited a wide host range against C.sakazakii and had good bacteriostatic efficacy in both milk and milk powder,demonstrating its potential to be a bio-control agent against C.sakazakii in foods.
